Its hard to say if the codeine will give you more relief, its still an opiate so its going to give
you some level of pain control. Im guessing that
you tapering off
percocet isnt to get off pain pills completely, just to switch over to codeine? There both opiates, although I do believe the oxycodone is somewhat stronger than codeine. I also have chronic pain in my knee mainly, but also hip and lower back.
