When to stop traction/ved before surgery

Postby SW0110 » Wed Feb 20, 2019 5:20 pm

OK. The traction and ved definitely helped me for sure. I always get a lot of fluid build up when I ved no matter how slow I go. It takes about 2 days to get back to normal. My surgery is on a Thursday so I figured I would ved my last time and keep it real non agrressive on Tuesday, but go ahead and traction Wed night. It really does not bother me at all.

Any one think this could cause me issues. Last thing I want is to postpone. I have this window for this surgery or I will probably have to wait till next year.
