Yes to both the --: Questions. Discuss with your orthopod and if concerned have a discussion with the anesthetist as well. Good luck.

No worries: There is absolutely NO increased risk in a patient with MS regarding shoulder surgery or general anesthesia. But if you are not taking an MS disease modifying agent, your future prognosis is rather dismal. Hopefully, you just neglected to list your meds.
