thank you.it is a common practice that when paracetamol is not working for musculoskeletal pain than other NSAID or opiod is prescribed.but it is a question that you are suffering from long time after an accident.is there any significant injury at knee joint.an x-ray of this joint may be needed.you may consult an orthopedic specialist.
