Question Should I ask for some other pain reliever??

Hello everyone!
In August I tore my MCL and twisted my meniscus...but thinking it was just bruised I didn't actually go to a Dr. till October, had the MRI in November.
I just rec'd my date for surgery...April 5th.

Now onto my dilemma! I work from home so if I need to elevate my leg, use warm compresses etc... I'm good.

We've had and been saving for a dream vacation to Walt Disney World in March of this year. We are still going, but I'm trying to figure out how to manage my pain. I am taking two extra strength Advil morning and night, it helps a bit.

My husband and I went to Home Depot tonight, and I was very uncomfortable with just the amount of walking I had to do.

I remember taking Tylenol #3 for a sinus infection and found they worked great. Would they work better for this pain as well. I did buy Aleve, but it didn't seem to work as well as the Advil.

I need to be able to walk for a few hours at least! I also need to find some of those hot patch things that stick on maybe...
