I have a question regarding LDN, Surgery & Pain management. This coming week I have dental surgery scheduled. There will be at least 1 tooth removed and almost every tooth will have some type of restorative work done to fix a years worth of damage caused by horrible medications i have been on. In my Pre-Op appt, the docs were cautious and recommended that I be able to take pain medication because of the amount of work that will be done. ( positive note, I will have a ketamine infusion while under to hopefully decrease the flare reaction to the surgery).

The problem is: I am on LDN, which counteracts with opioids. I love love love the LDN because it really has decreased my nerve pain with little to no side effects. I was at the point of needing a wheelchair when the LDN kicked in and made my mornings tolerable.

For me the LDN took 6 weeks to start working. I am so worried that if I stop it to take the pain meds that I will go back to feel horrible and it will set me back again... 6 weeks is a LONG time to be in excruciating pain If I don't stop the LDN and refuse the pain meds, the CRPS in my mouth and my feet will continue to flare.

Anyone had experience with this?
