Default I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon today

So I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon today. While I don't expect too much from this visit as I am more or less aware of this condition and its treatments and prognosis, I was wondering if anyone can suggest me something to ask him. I will speak to him to know more about what's going on and how it will be down the road, I might ask him to give me some antioxidants and anti inflammatory pills. I will also stress on head sensitivity to motion topic and see what he has to say and whether it can be my neck and not my brain. Any suggestions, advices are welcome

Why would a neurosurgeon give you anti-oxidants ? You can get them from a vitamin shop.

What anti-inflammatory pills do you think he may prescribe for you ?

I would be surprised if you get any worthwhile response or answers from him.

I agree with Mark that you could get those things at a GNC.

However, ask about the worst symptoms you have and see what he has to say. I've only has one neuro understand me and he was young and more up to date regarding these issues. he put me on larger doses of gabapentin which has helped. Good luck
