Anywhere here ever need surgery not related to the liver or Hep B?

[luckyman316]

Just want to understand what I would expect should I need to go through anything. I've been having lots of jaw and neck issues, which I think could potentially use some form of surgery. I've been avoiding it by doing some therapy at home but it only works to an extent. My concern is the anesthesia and also any medications I need to take for pain after the surgeries, if I choose to do this, would have on the liver. Wonder what experiences everyone has had with this.

I had 2 years ago surgery from knee. I took anesthesia.  I informed my operator about chb and they put it into file. I do not know what counter measure has been taken.

Thanks for sharing. I'm more worried about anything needed to be taken afterwards (pills for pain, etc) because those can harm the liver and with a liver already getting damage... it may not be easy. Like you, if I decide on anything, I will surely inform anyone of the CHB

Have you ever had your thyroid checked?

[luckyman316]

Definitely not my thyroid. I have herniated discs w/ stenosis and nerve root compression in my neck (likely from the sport I played for some time). I also have a jaw issue due to some major TMJ from dental work done 7 years ago that has caused clenching of teeth and jaw in my sleep. I've been considering surgery for both, since conventional and alternative treatments are only doing so much. Neither were caused from a thyroid issue for certain.
