Good point about not stopping my meds. cold turkey...had not thought about that. I'm going to continue to take them as the trial is only for cervical area and my lumbar area is very painful right now. Will let you know how trial goes. I get it tomorrow around 2 p.m. Thanks for your prayers

Hi Fionab- Do bear in mind Rae's comment about following your Doc, they have the training and are in the know. Today, the surgery center should be in touch with you about prep..... ask them. Tell them your meds regimen and let them be in touch with the Doc to get last minute instructions to you. As for me, the doc wanted all meds going continuously as he was dependent on it for a baseline of my known pain profile. His goal was knowing that situation to address the overthetop pain and go for it. I feel my trial was a home run.

Go for it Fiona-
Praying for you,
