Hello
you can use hifenac p for pain, but long term use of analgesics causes retention of fluid leading to swollen legs and face.
you can use hifenac p if you have severe pain.
I will advise you to do regular brisk walking, take physiotherapy treatment.
I hope you understood, take care and get well soon.
