Fibromyalgia and pain med allergies?

Dear ANTjor1996,
with a good pain management and postoperative instructions, you should be able to avoid using stronger pain killers. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

There are many medications that surgeons can prescribe in order to help manage pain during recovery. Some patients elect to have Exparel injections during surgery to help control pain for the first few days. There are other medications as well non medicinal interventions such as positioning to help patients manage the initial part of recovery. Speak with your surgeon to learn more.

Pain control is important. I typically use whatever medication a patient has used in the past that has had success. If the patient has never had surgery or never used pain medication, I use oral narcotic meds of varying strengths. Just inform your PS and anesthesiologist of your allergies to codeine, vicodin, and percocet. I think that many patients require prescription pain medications for the first week or so with the transition to the use of Tylenol for the next week.
