If we feel pain we need to go to doctor?

I’m having major surgery very soon! Doctor in charge is not the
doctor who prescribes my (lets just say) TABOO medication-I’m sure
you know what it is? She would like me to be completely off of the
medication long before the surgery, but admit nurse says the
anesthesiologist is in charge of all meds and says you can take it up
until midnight before the surgery. My question is, eventhough
they’re going to be medicating me w/ other meds- will I still suffer
withdrawals either before or during my sedation? Other question, will
my tolerance levels affect the anesthesia? Will it be less
affective?

My last question! What medicines would be best and still work on me
during my recoup period in the hospital. Taken into consideration,
it will be somewhat less than what I take on a regular basis. I
still don’t want to be in a lot of pain?? WHO does? ANY
recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I hope I can calm
down and relax before and during this process. I’ve been on this
medication for a LONG time!! Thanks,

The pain is only felt when I bend over, worse in the mornings even as I bend over the sink. Help? What can I do to end the pain BESIDES medication. That’s not what I mean.

I mean, why am I getting this back pain and how can I avoid it?

A couple of years ago…not too long…I had an infected tooth. My dentist prescribed something for the infection, as well as a pain medication which contained codeine. The pain med made me a little dizzy, about half-an-hour after I took it, but it didn’t do too much otherwise. Of course, on the pill bottle was a giant warning “DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL while taking this medication”.

So a couple of nights later I’m invited out with a couple of friends. I decide to take TWO of the pain pills, just to make sure the pain doesn’t interfere with my good time. After about 4 beers at a bar, I’m told that I groped some women who I didn’t know, took a leak ON our table, and did a few other embarrassing things. There’s no evidence of any of this (like camera-phone pictures), but I can’t remember any of it, and my friends hadn’t lied to me before. No choice but to believe it!
BTW, I haven’t gone back to that bar since then. Afraid they might throw me out, or call the cops oh, come on, now….four answers?? Yer gonna have to do better than that, people!
