<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I will be having surgery for a partially torn rotator cuff and impengment in my right shoulder. Because I am new to CD, I need help knowing exactly what questions to ask. Obviously I will have pain medication and IV fluids to flush out the shoulder. Also, Anesthia. Anyone that has had a similar surgery -- what medications were allowed? Any problems with the medications, bandages etc... I've asked the doc for a list of everything he will use. He is most willing to help but very "ignorant" about the disease. He said he will provide me with any information I need and will use whatever medications I want him too. Do I need to worry about anesthia? Any insite about this would be most helpful. Thanks, Jill/Texas
