Gl ))) welcome)))) Diane

I have Fibromyalgia also. Need two carpal tunnel surgery coming up. Traumatic brain injury from 3 years ago. I torn my rotator cuff too. I don’t know your age I am 66. Have artificial left hip so I know what Fibromyalgia did after that surgery. Everyone from doctors to friends and family said don’t do it. It is painful and recovery takes forever. Girl friend had it done months of recovery. I will pray for ya!

I obviously dont know if it will work for you, but i find that it helps to go into surgery feeling the best you can. Ex: i will take extra Imitrex as close to surgery as possible because going into surgery with a migraine has resulted in huge migraines for weeks afterwards. Another example, i went to physical therapy to work on my frozen shoulder before a different surgery as it was less other pain and more mobility. It only helped like 20%, but i do believe it helped in recovery.
