  • anyone on narcotics for a LONG TIME before surgery?

    I will be having surgery for scoliosis July 1st. and was wondering if anyone has been on narcotic pain meds. for a long time before their surgery? And if so --how did the pain management go afterwards? Am wandering if there have been any problems with this because of long time use of narcotics. Thank-you for any future input.
