Default Surgery & MG

Hi all,

I'm scheduled for surgery to remove an large ovarian cyst - the first operation I've needed since my MG symptoms began. I'm really worried as I won't be able to take codeine/tramadol/morphine etc after the surgery as they really effect my breathing and make my diaphragm very weak. No idea how I'll cope without pain relief.

How do others manage this situation (i.e pain relief that won't interfere with breathing!)?

Typically my neurologist is away for a month and this op needs to happen quickly!

Any advice much appreciated x
