Hello, Robert! How are you

While you're in the hospital, they're going to administer something for your pain, because suffering can prolong healing time and add complications.

However, you can let them know that you would prefer something very mild at the bare minimum dosage.

Baclofen is not an opiate, it is just a muscle relaxant and will not help with surgical pain.

when are you having the surgery?

I am from Dallas originally and I am in need of a good PM Doc in the Kansas City area. I have been in PM for almost 10 yrs and I need a new hip. However, before I can take time off of work to recover from surgery, 6-8 weeks, I need a new Doc to take over my pain management. My PM Doc in Dallas was great but up here it is a completely diff story...any suggestions Please?
