Re: Surgical Procedure / Questions

[Guest guest]

I don't have any information about the procedure you are having done, but I just

wanted to tell you to be VERY careful with the Stadol!! Google it, and you will

see why I'm saying this. It can be very dangerous. I know this isn't something

you wanted to hear, but please check it out. I don't want anything bad to happen

to you. It probably would help with the migraine you are expecting post surgery,

but again, please be careful.

Peace and Love

Caroline

Lyriczada:

Did they give your procedure a specific name? It sounds a little like

prolotherapy, but I can't tell from what I've read so far. Regardless

of what it is, push water and fluids as much as you can both before

and after.

Is Stadol a form of cortisone for your sinuses or overall pain relief?

Good luck with your surgery!
