Dear Doctor: Is it normal for my husband to sob uncontrollably due to pain following knee surgery?

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband had left knee replacement surgery three weeks ago. He has had continuous unrelenting pain since. He was initially on hydrocodone with acetaminophen alternating with tramadol. This barely touched the pain. We were referred to a pain specialist who prescribed hydrocodone, but our insurance wouldn’t allow it. He is also on gabapentin and baclofen. The doctor took an X-ray, and said all looked normal.
