Summary
The purpose of this study is to look at pain management with opioids versus non-opioids after
knee arthroscopy. This study will determine 1) whether the most commonly used non-narcotic
medications provide pain relief comparable with the most commonly prescribed narcotic
medications in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery, and 2) whether patients'
characteristics (gender, pre-operative knee symptoms, workers compensation status and
employment status) affect pain level following surgery or medication usage.
