Hello...i have 4 hour classes tomorrow to go over everything.
I meet with Nurse first half and discuss PM post Op and recovery.
Then a PT for what to expect.

My neurologist is vague on. My SFN and feels my problem is motor loss in feet with back OA disease.
She wanted me to take dulexicam or something. I haven't yet. Do you have suggestions?

Good afternoon @trishh, thanks for responding. It sounds like you have scheduled opportunities to get all of your questions answered. I just must ask.....how can your neurologist be vague? This is pretty critical in my book. Any time you are undergoing surgery, especially when you have SFN, there must be understanding by everyone on your "team".

I will mention that duloxetine which may be your "or something" is one of the medications that I trust to keep my anxiety under control. And that is what happened to me......I didn't have it on the post-surgery schedule and really needed it. The brand name is Cymbalta. I take it in the morning, 90 mg, and that keeps my head on straight for most of the day. Because it works on the anxiety and anxiety causes pain, it gives me a better and more pain free start in the morning.

Will you let me know how the classes go tomorrow. It is so important to share the prep sessions to make sure everyone knows what to look for when it is their turn.

Good luck. I hope you leave relieved and know that your SFN will be managed for you.

Chris
