Thank you. My Drs told me to taper 1/2 mg every week. I am at 6 now. Planning on first shoulder reversal surgery (bone spurs, cartilage deterioration, crummy pain) in early April. I will talk with the anesthesiologist.

I was on more than you are for my surgery so you should not have a problem if you follow your doc's advice. Please let us know how your surgery goes and your satisfaction with your new shoulder. I want to know for my own reasons.
