Brenda.... Sorry that I have no advice for you 'n David for his upcoming shoulder surgery, however, I'm a candidate for surgical repair of a torn rotator cuff in one of my shoulders, and would be interested in and appreciative of any information you receive that you pass along. Best of luck to you, David, in your surgery. And thanks in advance to YOU, Brenda.

This is the left. My question is this: Is there additional information about hospitalization & medications to avoid? Is there information about what anesthetics/pain relievers that are a problem with Mirapex? I believe the doctor gave David Demerol intramuscularly & Morphine via a pump for pain after the last surgery. From the last surgery we have Mitchell Mills hospital information and Meds to Avoid from R Weeks. Since then, David has gone from Sinemet CR to generic sinemet and has increased the dosage some. A few months ago David also went on Mirapex. 1 tablet 3x a day. Thanks for the information in advance. Brenda Moxley, CG David, 53, 10/95 Birmingham, Alabama [log in to unmask]
