Questions?

I am 51/2 months post op and the last week I have had serious tingling and numbness everywhere, my joints and muscles ache so bad that I can barely get up in the morning, I feel a weird pulsing sensation near my neck and oh yeah my head hurts but that always hurts.  What could be causing all of this does anyone else experience this after decompression surgery?  I am seeing Dr Oro on Aug 1st so am hoping he can explain this but would love to have some idea what is going on--thanks for your input!

I am praying for your healing when was your surgery. I had mine in febuary 2011 and am in jsut about the same boat no lie. i can hardly get out of bed anymore i am so weak adn in pain so much. i been jsut dealing iwth it for a long time but the other night i had to go to the er i couldnt even lift my head up my husband had to get me off my bed. i understand your frustration and being scared. let me know what you find out hun adn if i find anything out i will let you kow too. i dont have insurance so i just wait it out til its too bad then go to the er. i am trying to get public health insurnace but not sure if i can..

The joint pain is new this week-I had numbness right before surgery but not in my face it has all come on this week so just not sure but will make sure to note that to Dr Oro.  Thanks for the info helps to have an idea and your support much appreciated!!

  Hi...many times the further we get from our surgery date we begin to feel a return of symptoms...and even may even get a few new ones....

The return of symptoms should be less intense then b4 surgery, and should not last as long and can be described as the nerves rejuvenating....coming back to life so to speak....

If u have new symptoms it can also be the nerves rejuvenating...u healing......

  But, if the  pain and symptoms r worse,  it could mean u experienced some perm nerve damage prior to surgery....OR,  u may have developed a condition that some will post op...such as intercranial hypertension.....

The fact u have joint pain...did they rule out ehlers -danlos?
