Regular Member phl Posted September 23, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted September 23, 2004 metro Not sure about cortisone but yes certain vitamins should be avoided 1 week before surgery. I don't think either MSM or Saw Palmetto are on the list but I'd check with your doc. Certain things like MSG (in Chinese food), Vit B and E, broccoli (if you like it!) are on the forbidden list, as is alcohol (sorry). When is your surgery?

Senior Member Smoothy Posted September 23, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2004 yes, most docs suggest 1-2 before surgery-- I suspect its the same with your shots. Ask your doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
