Anyone pre or post op with Multiple Sclerosis.

I had my initial consultation with one of the doctors I am interviewing. He made mention the fact that due to my MS that if I didn't have the surgery "soon" he would not do it. His reasoning is lack of mobility.I explained to him that I am pretty much in remission, on treatment and doing well. I am a nurse, work 40+ hours a week standing on my feet and have a new baby as well. Some how I think I can make a few trips around the hospital corrider without any problems. I also discussed with him post op pain management. I have had chronic pain due to the MS for the last 5 years. I do take excessive amounts of Muscle relaxers and mild narcotic pain killers on a every other day schedule. I am worried that I will not get enough for pain post op due to my high tolerance. anyone dealing with this as well?
