Hi, it's me, kanaffa again.
Also, I need to know how they deal with a MMT person who needs major surgery, as I will shortly, as in another hip or knee replacement.
When I was on 100 mg OC daily and had my 2nd knee op, the anaesthetist mied up a "cocktail" (his words. not mine) of Tramadol, Clonidine and my usual 100mg OC for post-op pain. After the spinal sedation wore off, I was in agonising pain and then went into full blown paranoid delerium as a result of an obvious allergic reaction to the Tram. I had to be attached to a monitor and virtually tied to the bed, as I kept trying to escape, convinced they were trying to kill me. Had to stay in hospital for nearly 4 weeks and the pain was unbearable, only alleviated by a morphine shot now and then... I realise that pain relief post-op is hard when you're on 100 mg oxy daily, but will it be just as bad with methadone?
Cheers, kanaffa from OZ
