A member asked:
Can huge opiate tolerance significantly increase complications when being put under for surgery?hes been taking far above rx levels for 10plus years
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Opioid complications: It would be recommended to inform your surgeon and your anesthesiologist of the precise nature of your opioid use. Not only will the anesthesia during surgery become located but controlling your pain after surgery will be difficult. It is best to decrease the use leading up to surgery.
