Hello @belkins, Welcome to Connect. I know it's difficult when you are in so much pain and can't get any relief. I wished I had some answers that would make it go away. If it were me, I would make a list of my symptoms and concerns and talk with my primary care team or doctor. Medications are a good thing to discuss with your surgeon or his team before the surgery. I've always done this prior to the few surgeries I have had - knee replacement, cataracts and hernia.

Have you tried talking with your doctor?
