HAS ANYONE ON METHADONE HAD SURGERY-HOW IS PAIN TREATED?

I HAD SEVERAL INJURYS A YEAR AGO AND BECAME ADDICTED TO THE MEDICATION THE DOCTOR PERSCRIBED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND THE DOCTOR ACTUALLY COULD CARE LESS AND BEING THAT I HAVE A CHRONICALLY ILL CHILD WHO IS HOMEBOUND AND ON PAIN MEDICATIONS- I AM CURRENTLY A METHADONE PATIENT AND DOING WONDERFULLY ON IT BUT IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND A SURGEON TO EVEN TOUCH ME BECAUSE MOST OF THEM DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TREAT PAIN ON A METHADONE PATIENT BUT I FINALLY FOUND A SURGEON WHO SAYS ITS NO BIG DEAL THAT THEY HAVE A PAIN MANAGMENT TEAM THAT CAN HANDLE IT, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THEY WILL USE FOR PAIN DURING MY STAY, BEING THAT THERE IS SO MANY THINGS THAT I CANT TAKE THAT WILL THROW ME INTO SEVERE WITHDRAWLS AND I HAVE AN UNBELIEVABLY HIGH TOLERANCE- HAS ANYONE DELT WITH THIS- IM REALLY SCARED THAT THEY WONT BE ABLE TO CONTROL MY PAIN AND MY BACK IS SO MESSED UP FROM EPIDURALS FROM CHILDBIRTH SO THATS OUT OF THE QUESTION.
