This will depend on the type of repair, and the type of surgery you are going to have. Arthroscopic surgery is less painful, than a full length incisicion. If you are in pain now from the injury, it's not likely that it will be much worse after surgery. Just do everything the Dr tells you to do, and after 3-4 days the pain will be much less.

This happened to me last year. I actually did it while bowling (haha, yeah) I sprained my knee in 5 places and dislocated it and yada-yada. I ended up having surgery to fix it all.
First, they give you a medicine that numbs you and puts you to sleep. Once they are sure you can not feel anything and are un-concious, they begin the surgery. The do the surgery. Whent hey finish, and they sew you up and all that good stuff, they give you oxygen or you wake up yourself. You can't feel anything, so you won't be in pain. For a couple of hours you aren't in pain, but once the medicine wears off, it gets really painful. So, if you ask the doctor, they will give yo something to make it not hurt so bad. When you get home, you will either have a wheelchair or crutches. The pain is there, but not unbearable, and they give you a perscription for pain medicine. It hurts a lot, but you usually can take medicine to make it not hurt so bad.

don't worry to much, in all likely hood you will barely remember the surgery if you remember it at all, when i beoke my arm they had to relocate the bones(or w/e the technical term is) and they used this medication on me for the procedure, i have absulotly no memory of that or the 2 hours proceeding, so rest assured, you will be two messed up to feel a thing, i promise, the worst has passed
