Can I Take Glucosamine After Otoplasty?

Tags: 6 months post-op, aftercare, contraindication
Hi, I had otoplasty in December 2010 and had a revision in July 2011, and I used to take glucosamine before that but stopped (just for a few weeks) . I'm wondering if it is ok to go back to take it. I have weak ankles and I used to take it whenever I sprain my ankle or have any kind of related injury. The pill is glucosamine HCI 1500mg with MSM 1500mg. Thank you

Glucosamine after otoplasty
This should not be a problem. I have had many people on glucosamine before and after surgery without any issues.

Otoplasty and Postop Supplements?
There should be no problem resuming your intake of glucosamine after otoplasty surgery.
Best wishes.

Glucosamine and Otoplasty
To my knowledge there is no reason you could not resume your glucosamine at this point. Glucosamine should not interfere with your Otoplasty.
