Knee surgery tomorrow ?!


Question: Knee surgery tomorrow !?

I am scheduled for arthosopic knee surgery wed!. sometime and i am kinda freaked about it!.!. i've had a few surgeries in the past no big deal!. But, i since have devoloped GAD with extremely bad panic attacks!. I guess my questions are :
Will i be put totally under (because i don't think i could handle being awake)!?
I also have my allergies acting up will they still go forward with the surgery!? - i already have my mother driving six hours to come stay with me and my one year old daughter so i can't risk it being rescheduled-
Will they prescribe me something to help with the pain (i have a low pain tolerance)!?
Any advice to help with the recovery!?

Answers:
You will likely be under general anesthesia, so you will be out completely!. It will probably not be too long of a procedure, so you will probably recover quickly enough to go home the same day!. You will likely be given a prescription for pain medication, which you may or may not require!. If you are anxious (and even if your aren't) they may give you an anti-anxiety medication in your IV after it is started and before you go into the operating room!.

You should do fine!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Surgery and anxiety don't go too well together, I will tell you that much!. What are you taking for anxiety!? You will definitely need something for the anxiety before and after surgery, just because you will have plenty of opportunity for your mind to run thru all kinds of stuff that won't happen!. Whatever they gave me b4 my knee surgery worked wonders!. As for the pain, I would imagine you would get a prescription for something, Lortab being the most common!. However, the best person to ask is your surgeon!. Don't go into the surgery without definite answers!. Call their office tomorrow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
