For a knee replacement I am not sure how intense the surgery and physical pain afterwords is so I can not tell you an exact answer but most likely the doctor would either give you high Oxycontin's (atleast 40mg, the highest they make is 80mg and who knows maybe you will get 80mg, if the pain is as bad as back surgery, probably 80mg, if much less severe (not MUCH less just a noticeable difference in pain, then probably 40mg or 60mg Oxycontin pills) or you might get morphine (sorry but I am unfamiliar with the dosages of morphine, but I do know that even the lowest dose of morphine is pretty intense (intense as in extreme pain relief) so the lowest dosage of morphine is probably about equal to 40mg of Oxycodone (which is the drug in percocet and drug in Oxycontin as well, Oxycontin is called oxy-contin because its continual release, it has a coating on it and its a very small pill, it has no Tylenol in it like percocets do.)
In conclusion, you would only get Oxycontin or morphine, there arent any other narcotic pain relievers (that are strong enough (for example there is vicodin, a weak percocet, and theres also darvacet, like a weak vicodin, and probably some others too) it really just depends on the doctor in the end. If your having financial problems he may give you the one that is cheaper (im not sure which that is) but equal in pain relief to the other drug, so theres nothing to worry about.

If you have knee pain, do you need a replacement?
Without knowing much about the knee pain or your age, I would say that in most cases, knee pain does not require a knee replacement. Often, knee pain can be the result of stress to the knee, mild spraining, or even weak bones. Taking a calcium supplement and avoiding strenuous lifting or other difficult activities for a few days should help the pain. If pain persists after that time, it would be best to see your doctor, but needing a knee replacement is still very unlikely.
