Makes sense, the doctor said he would have no problem refilling pain med as needed, obviously to a certain extent. I'm grateful to have a surgeon who is taking the fibro into consideration.

Any surgery can send your body into a flare, hence longer recovery time. Let your anaesthetist know that you have fibro and they can add extra painkillers while you are in recovery and after you leave the hospital. As part of fibro, our body views any foreign object, e.g scalpel, injections etc and the body thinks it has to fight this foreign object. Hence, our body flaring and creates pain.
