Is It Safe To Undergo Breast Reconstruction When Suffering From Chronic Pain Due To Ankylosing Spondylitis?

I have breast cancer and ankylosing spondolytis. Breast reconstruction after bilateral mastectomy is a high priority for me. However, I suffer so much pain 24/7 due to the AS, I worry that the reconstruction process may be too much for my pain tolerance or may cause additional problems due to the AS. I have not been able to find women in my same predicament.
