Suggest Medicine For Knee Pain While Suffering From Meniscus Tear

I just had my doctor review my MRI, I have a bucket tear of the miniscus in my left knee,(with a flap) I will need surgery for it. He is not a narcotic prescribing physcian, just my luck can I get pain medication if I have documentation of my injury with dates of findings. This is crazy to not to be able to recieve pain meds when it is needed. Can t stand or sit w/o it (knee) locking which causes me a great amount of discomfort. Can I get an on-line RX that is legitimate from you?

you can also take mild pain killer like zerodol if there is lot of pain.
