My pre-op instructions said to stop taking vitamins and herbal remedies 2 weeks prior to my TKR surgery.
A few weeks ago my lab results showed I was quite seriously vitamin D insufficient, and my GP put me on 50000 IUs of Vitamin D, which I take once a week for a couple of months. (This is not the first time this has happened.)
I asked the surgeon's office if I should continue to take the Vitamin D, but they said to ask my GP. I've sent an email to my GP, but while I'm waiting for his answer, I was wondering if anyone else had been in this situation.
From what I've been reading it should be fine to continue taking it, but wondering about it is my obsession of the weekend.
