sorry if i hit a nerve Cala. I too saw Dr Sanders for a lengthy eval and tests as well as a prior lengthy phone eval. He never discussed "wind up" with me. He's not my prescribing doc but he did discuss my meds with me and never said that he was against use of meds including lyrica, anti inflams., muscle relaxers. Again, I rec. asking his office mgr about his views on these subjects. She will be able to tell you if he is against their use post surgery; he may have a completely diff. view re post surgery.
