prednesone

i have a question for ya'll ...i was just talking with a co-worker and she is trying to get a date for sugery and her dr.(a different one from mine) said that prednesone(steroid) can stay in you system for up to 2 years and can prvent healing when you have surgery...i had a round of that about 2 months ago....have any of you heard of this?? julie k

If it was a one shot deal your ok. They usually don't like to have patients that are on it all the time have surgery because it can delay healing. I am a severe asthmatic and have been on prednisone alot and had no problems with the surgery. However I did get an upper respiratory infection in the hospital and it is now pneumonia and they are trying really hard no to use prednisone because they want me to be healed completely first. Hope this helps Kathi
