voltaren-nsaid

I'm scheduled for sugery in a week- permanent spinal cord stimulator. I've been told to stop the voltaren gel because it's a nsaid medication. Would this really have an effect on surgery. Possibility of increased bleeding? thanks for any help...

Yes, all NSAID type medications need to be discontinued prior to surgery since they can increase bleeding.
