I had a major operation 5 weeks ago. I had so much pain from the surgery that iit hard to tell which pain was from what. I did have a horrible flare last week SNF again this week, but this weeks were to expected as I lost my son 2 years ago yesterday. I am glad I had the operation so the fibro wasn't a concern. I guess you have to weigh your option's. I was having to have so many transfusions that my surgery became a necessity not an option. I did let the surgeon about the fibro and he had me on a morphine drip and shots on demand. Be sure and discuss with surgeon first. Hopefully this helped some.

I also had surgery about 6 weeks ago, no problems with anesthesia. Agreed, make sure someone is with you even if you just have outpatient surgery.

Yes and it caused a huge flair up. It took me 4 months to get over it.
