I have to have another surgery myself but I am trying to hold off as long as I can. When I talked to my Dr about this she said tell the surgeon the truth that you get addicted to them and they will know what to do. (but make sure you have an excellent surgeon!)
Good luck!
I will tell you this much when I need my next surgery and pain meds are invilved I will tell my doc the story of my addiction that way he/she could have some better answers for me like never give me open ended scrips for months years at a time... best ting is just tell your doc u are an recovering addict.....
Just be honest with the doctor.
Talk to the prescribing doctor. Let them know you would like something non narcotic. Toradol might be an option.
