Help! My surgery is scheduled for 1/17/2014 and I have major sciatic pain, I can barely walk. This is from a ruptured disc, I'm not sure how this will pin out with a mommy makeover. I already paid my deposit. I got my tense unit cranked up and hope that might help. Unfortunately I can't have ibuprofen because of my Von Willebrands (bleeding disorder) and Tylenol helps for a few hours but we all know what too much acetaminophen does to the liver. I read on the internet that a sugar free and animal free diet helps with inflammation ; does anyone know if this helps?
