I had my gallbladder out over 5 years ago...surgeon said it was the worst he had ever seen...sticky mess with a ton of huge stones...I had a major infection and was in the hospital for 4 days....immediately upon waking from the surgery I had pain in the joints in my feet, along with incredible sensitivity in my feet...(nothing could even brush up against them...couldn't wear shoes or socks, not even the sheet could touch them)....this was 5 years ago and the joint and muscle pain is daily and worsening...had many tests at the Neurologist to rule out nerve damage and now referred to the Rheumatoligist to see what he can find...I have had constant diarhea since the day of the surgery...so frustrated...I know getting my gallbladder removed was a medical necessity but my health has gone steadily downhill daily since the surgery....never had any kind of issue like this but literally woke up with it immediately after surgery...I thought it was the compression stockings when I was in the hospital...but it never went away...now my feet, hands, leg muscles (feels like I've worked out ALL the time, extreme muscle fatique...that is the norm) and hips are all involved...if I sit for any length of time I can barely walk, numbness, tingling and extreme fatigue in extremities especially worse in the morning, arms and legs fall asleep during the night and wakes me up with tingling, I also get migraines, confusion....feel like I am losing my mind....does anyone have ANY idea what this could be? Neurologist gave me MRI's to rule out MS, Lou Gehrigs, Brain issues. Not neurological... Except for this one surgery have been pretty healthy....except for a 2 year period when my kids were little and I came down with everything...(Parvo, Epstein Barr, Costocondritis,Strep several times...all within a 2 year spread..) but rarely sick otherwise...I am a 43 year old female....surgery was a little over 5 years ago...help... :(
