@hondaman Platelets are necessary for blood clotting. Surgery will make you bleed, so your doctors are right in trying to solve this before you have surgery. Did you discuss gabapentin with them? Is there an alternative to this prescription? Your doctors need to figure out how to increase your platelet count.
