Questions to ask my consultant
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hello everyone
I'm having a PKR on 18th September and I see my consultant next Tuesday for a chat. I've been told to list all the questions I want to ask him, I have started a list. Apart from the obvious questions, I was wondering if those of you who have been through this experience have suggestions for questions that YOU would have liked answered but didn't know to ask before you had the op, if that makes sense?
Also, I'm a bit worried about the pain control after my op, I'm really not very good with medication full stop. Did I imagine it, or did I read, that some people move quickly away from the heavy duty pain killers onto anti-depressants? I'm having weird dreams at the moment, it could just be that
Many thanks in advance.

I'm very lucky in that I'm pretty much retired now, have no dependents and a lovely hubby who works from home. I'm generally a very positive person so take comfort from that. On the 'good consultant' front, he seems to have excellent credentials and works for both NHS and Private sector (don't they all?) but I think I'll ask him how many of these ops he has done, and more importantly how many of them have needed revision!
