A member asked:
Why have i been told to stop taking diclofenac after my spinal fusion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can inhibit fusion: These medications can inhibit the fusion we are trying to achieve in your neck. The only exception to this is 81mg of aspirin. If you were on this prior to surgery you may resume this medication three days after your procedure.
