Yes, I have, everytime I have a surgery done! After reconstruction on both feet, hystorectomy, muscle biopsy, nerve biopsy. After the muscle biopsy, I developed numbness over right knee. Drs state that the nerves there in no way related to the surgical site. It is still numb and I still have nerve pain there. Same thing after nerve biopsy. My surgeon and neurologist both said it was my disease reacting to the surgeries. Very hesitant to have additional procedures done.
Nope you are not alone!

I dont take anesthesia well. Spend a day or so just getting over a colonoscopy, much less real surgery! I just try to avoid it if possible. But sometimes you have to have something done. I try to make sure I have enough time off to take the time to really get well!

I have only had routine surgeries, so it is hard to tell. My colonoscopy was a half-fail, the Fentanyl just did not work, could be narcotics tolerance from long-term painkiller use, or maybe I'm just a freak or the anasthesiologist was unskilled or whatever. OTOH, my double tooth extraction went great with just Propofol... they had ketamine and other stuff ready, but I didn't need it, and they were in and out in under ten minutes, I think. Roadie, I had no problem with my muscle biopsy, that was when I was a teenager and my illness was super active. My recovery from the stingray attack, however, was absolutely terrible, parts of that foot are still numb, if it were any worse, it would definitely interfere with activities of daily living. So maybe there is something to the nerve thing. I'm with MT-- I avoid surgery at all cost.

I had my gallbladder remove and the heart doctor, my lung doctor and my regular doctor had to have me check before they would sign off before my jurgery this June 1, 2011.
I have lost my heart doctor over the surgery...she wouldn't/or refuse to let me go thru the surgery without doing a angogram.
So we fought her back and my surgent got me a new cardo at the hospital.
Anyway.....after my Plumb said he don't work at the hospital I was at...he was kool he look at my last chest xrays, and the surgent again got me a different Plumb doctor.
LOL this is all true....and then the person who puts you out was upset at all the doctors arguing and getting ready for surgery.
So he yell in my face that he didn't want to kill me....what?
Second time and the new heart doctor fighting the old hospital since the first heart doctor refuse to give all her records....true!!!!!
Well the 2nd heart doctor did what they can do and got the records he needed to without doing another angogram.....and I made it in the surgery in time.
The surgent said my gallbladder was about ready to exploxed...he just made it in time for me.
God I didnt' need problems with med's no way I had neough with doctors.
Watch out for the doctors they can put a spin on your surgery.

I didn't die of course smile and I came thru.....I had NO problems after the surgery knott knott.....stil ok today.

But now I have more deases that I didn't know until recently....so what about next time? who knows....

Just becareful you all
