A member asked:

Im awaiting surgery for the baclofen pump and im in terrible pain. flexeril and oral baclofen maxed arent touching it. could prednisone help to get me through to surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several medications could be chosen, even OTC CBD, BUT, you are best advised to contact your current doctor to discuss the most useful steps to take until surgical implantation. Not so sure, that prednisone is a wise choice, as there could be some delay in healing post-op.
