Flexeril before breast reduction and rhinoplasty?

A
adelgado62Jun 18, 2022

I am having surgery (breast reduction and rhinoplasty) less than 7 days from now. I have found myself needing to take cyclobenzaprine/Flexeril so manage my neck problems I have. I called preop and asked a nurse if I can take and they said yes but I see some places online say to stop it. Do I need to stop the Flexeril asap? It really helps me.
