How Long Can You Delay Ankle Fusion Surgery And Continue With Tramal; And What Are The Risks?
Hi. I have a disintegrated talus in my right ankle. I have been told I will need an ankle fusion. Currently I am taking 400mg of Tramal per day and 1000mg of Naproxen. I have been told there is a 2 plus year wait for surgery. What risks are involved in delaying surgery this long including the long term use of the pain medication?
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I would like to say that if it is going to delay the surgery then there is no such apparent risk is there, only thing is you have to be on drug till more days, because analgesic are not good for health hope this information helps you take care and have a nice day.
