I didn't read through all the posts to your initial one, so pardon me if this repeats what someone else said.
Sometimes it's easier to work with your PCP for pain control. Your PCP knows you, and more accessible.
I didn't go specifically for non-opioid recovery. I prefer oxycodone when I have significant pain. I've only needed a half an oxycodone a day, at most. I've used 7 total (that's 14 doses) in a month's time, almost always at night. I have loved being clear-headed. My routine has been 1,000 acetaminophen twice a day, and 2 Aleve twice a day, which has worked well. But the ice machine is the best pain relief. I have it on an hour or more at a time.
