Pain Relief and Operation Recovery
anonymous
Yerachmiel Donowitz Says...
Having an operation will naturally cause pain. The severity which you will feel the pain is dependent on a number of factors including your tolerance to the pain medication you are addicted to. Your options are a little like buying insurance, the greater piece of mind you buy raises the cost. If you reveal your addiction you will have the greatest assurance that your pain will be treated to the fullest, but that involves your concern about your records. You could say nothing and rely on the fact that some tolerance would be expected based on your prescription. You could even voice this as a concern in advance and add that you are afraid to take a very high dosage of that medication because you could become addicted. You could then encourage them to use a different pain medication that would work differently. You can also increase the chances that you would recover more quickly by eating healthy, working out regularly and learn stress management techniques to minimize your body's pain response. Obviously the choice is yours.
