I'm Set To Have Surgery Soon. What To Expect?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hickory, NC

I'm set to have surgery on my right foot for 2 torn tendons soon. With already having fibromyalgia, other nerve pain and severe osteoporosis what should I expect?
Do you think the surgery will affect the fibromyalgia? And my Dr's biggest concern is that the surgery will cause CRPS.
I hurt my foot nearly a year ago. I've been wearing a boot and brace ever since hoping it would heal. It's not healing so my Dr said he's going to have to go in and graft the tendons.
Thank you all in advance ☺️ 💞

Describe Yourself

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Houston, TX

This is a question I must answer, as I feel it helps docs understand their patient. If you want (no names will be included) if you want to use one or so words to describe "yourself". It might be - Lonely, Abandoned, Content when I can, etc... So instead of saying Blue eyes, blonde hair, etc... you are describing the YOU with Chronic Pain. Some maybe be physical (do you always look good), but much will be on an emotional level. This is what is hard for others to understand. Pain is… read more
