Serious Question -- Experts- Doctors

[yardrock]

First let me say,I know I should consult my physician concerning this matter. With that said, I have 3 herniated discs in my neck. This has occured thru years of football. wrestling and lifting. My first MRI in 1999 showed moderate stenosis, closing of the spinal canal. My most recent MRI shows that it has progressed. I now need to have C4-C5, C5-C6,and C6-C7 fused. The disc material between the vertibra in pushing on my spinal cord and causing pain, mubness and loss of control in my left arm. TIME FOR SURGERY. Now my question.
I have been jucing for over 10 years without coming off for any significant time. Will this effect my surgery? Am I in any danger of clotting, uncontrollable bleeding and how does the juice effect the healing process?? Also does the juice have any adverse effects w/ anastisia?? A little scared!!!!!!!

Juice will effect your blood pressure, and that in turn your bleeding and healing during surgery. It will also effect your hemocrit counts, which could cause clotting issues. I would get off all juice before your surgery to be safe, its just not worth it. Also, as far as anasteisia, there are no studies done with high level synthtic hormones that show an adverse response. Tox studies just haven't, and probably will never be done. So no one truly knows. But I would not take the risk of a drug reaction or interaction while going under the knife. Just my 2 cents bro.
