I have to have surgery to replace a joint. I am afraid of the same thing happening this time. I am going to make sure the staff and my doctors know ahead of time to give me the regular dose. There is poor communication between fields of medicine thats for sure. I did the screaming and full blown withdraw, they told me I was doing it to myself. I wanted to throttle somebody but hurt to much to do anything. My son asked for intervention. Why is all if this so hard for the hospitals to understand? take care of yourself! ginnie
