You can ask about how he plans to address your pain control after surgery.

some get the pump ? where they can hit the button at anytime as needed. I'm not sure of the correct name for it.

Of course a skilled surgeon is a big plus for this , not a time for a beginner to be learning on you.
So you can also ask how many of these has he done per year, or in total...?


I just put in" surgery tips" to do a search on -

you can scan thru the titles to find more information on surgery

Don't feel obligated to stay with any Dr if you don't feel 100% sure - get another opinion from a qualified dr.
Did you check out or drs & PTs sticky up above the thread list?
