Can you take tramadol prior to surgery?

I would have to say yes, I have taken it before my surgery and had no issues. You may have to check with your Dr though if you are instructed not to take anything that thins your blood. Tramadol is not a blood thinner it is an opiate antagonist which means in simple terms is like an opiate but without giving you much of a high...in simple terms it fills in the gaps of what an opiate would do in the brain in some ways. Its a pain killer for mild to moderate pain as far as I am aware. It is better to check with your Dr though for all matters and depending on the surgery my advice might not be right for you?


What is antral erythema?

i do not know but i was told i have this on endoscopy by my GI quack doctor in florida. second part of this word means redness, that i know. the rest is anyone's guess since the idiot would not tell me what it meant since it took too much time for him to discuss it with me, he might lose money for spending 5 min more with me. so, i have to google it just like eveyone else on here b/c doctors are too busy and dont give a $-it but anything for $$$. so i have ''acute duodenitis'' mucosa showing focal erosions, mild blunting of the villi. even though i have occult blood and had a colonscopy that i dont want to repeat, this idiot didnt bother to take a biopsy of my colon since he is such a genius, he just automatically knew beforehand i have no colon cancer. how nice, isnt it great to have such genius doctors who dont even have to biospy this until i wind up with it and have to then repeat a yet another unpleasant procedure since the lazy f-ker would not do it right the first time? hell what would have been the cost of a petri dish for a biospy, 3.00? to confirm or deny this? so nice these idiot doctors here in florida, if you need a doctor in florida, you are wasting your time here, they treat dogs better than people down here.
