Has anyone had surgery (for another problem) since they got TM? I'm
concerned about having muscle spasms in my legs as a response to pain.
Since I'm hypersensitive, I worry about the pain being more intense anyway.
I'm also concerned about my balance, since I assume I'll be on heavy pain
killers the first few days. My balance is good, but it's mostly in my
head, so distractions (pain killers?) cause me to stumble or stagger. I'm
definitely taking my cane to the hospital, even though I haven't used it
much in the last four years.

My surgery (in the pelvic area) is scheduled for July 9. I've never had
surgery, so any ideas or tips appreciated.

Thanks,
