I will be having surgery to remove a cyst in my neck this coming Friday. (6 days) I have been having pain caused by tendonitis in my Achilles tendons in both feet and I was wondering if it would be safe to take Baclofen to help with the pain until a day or two before surgery. The nurse practitioner took a list of my medication I was given by my PCP when I went in to talk about my cyst and schedule my surgery but I'm not sure if my surgeon even looked over the list or not. I have quit taking all of the meds I was on other than allergy medicine & haven't taken the Baclofen yet, as I am unsure if it will be safe or not. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
Is it safe to take Baclofen before surgery?

The simplest solution is to just call the doctor's office. I can't see why it would be a problem even closer to your surgery, but the doctor is the one to ask.
