Finally had my hopefully last surgery.
Finally had my hopefully last surgery. This is now number 13. I had my surgery on Friday 9/11/2026. Surgery took a couple hours and recovery took a tiny bit longer than usual but it was just because I apparently wanted to sleep a bit more I was doing ok rest of Friday and they let me go home. When I got home the numbing block wore completely off. I had patches that the doctor wanted me to use. Well, I had it on but I for some reason could feel EVERYTHING post op. I was up all night trying to get the pain under control and now trying to get my itching under control too. I finally called the on call doctor and said I’m reacting to post op anesthesia and I looked like a cherry tomato on my face and chest. They had me come in. They asked me what meds I’m on. I told them the patch. Well I guess my surgeon was upset because they gave me the lowest dose of the patch and he said that isn’t going to help because of the extent of the surgery. (They reconstructed my big toe and second toe and did harvesting bone to my ankle). My histamine levels were so high and my pain level was a 10. My BP was 160/90. Podiatry stated that my foot is also very swollen and that can cause a lot more pain too. After 10 hours in the ER, 7 IV pokes and a whole mental breakdown, they got the BP down a little and meds running through me. I’m told to rest and avoid being on my foot too much.

Oh no… I am so sorry 🙏🏼 Truly praying for immediate relief and smooth sailing from here … you’ve got this!
I’m so sorry you were in so much pain. Hi hope it stays under control!!
I'm so sorry, have a very similar experience. It's awful and I hope it is improved moving forward!
Awww speedy recovery to you , Im grateful for my surgeon who gave me powerful pain killers as I had major work done all over and then a lower pain meds to wean myself off the first ones .. I thought I was good until that nerve block wore off but holy I was playing catch up with the pain .. So every one remember to listen and take the meds .. Speedy recovery to you and take one day at a time .
Why so many? So sorry 😞
I hope so too! This is rough recovery.
thanks so much
I’m finally trying to stay on top of it with new meds
I took the meds. They were just such a low dose I got behind on the pain level and tried to tough it out.
we didn’t know if he allergic to so many metals and I had non union a few times.
