Hello, I am doing some research for myself. I had a total Thyroidectomy in 2012. My head and neck healed well and cancer gone. During diagnosis, surgeon noticed a polyp on my vocal cord. I did not thrive after Thyroidectomy due to suppression therapy and lower back pain, that led to a L4&5 fusion in 2018 (dec). My vocal polyp began to affect my voice and breathing. I had vocal surgery in may of 2018. I woke up after surgery in , out of my mind hysterical pain in my neck. I was given 100 mg Tylenol and Dilaudid 5 , twice and sent home….i know I didn’t spell that correctly. At first I woke up extremely numb on my left side behind my ear. My surgeon never addressed it and I thought I was fine. I began to slowly have headaches, blurry vision, etc……this led to a hospital visit. This was surgeon error. I had asked him to remove a skin tag from my left cheek right before surgery and he did. I have had difficulty getting the damage from this surgery treated and acknowledged by my pain drs or any dr. I did get a diagnosis of Occipital Neuralgia. My neuralgia and pain has followed the same pattern on my body ever since then. Trying to make this short. After my back surgery I was having thoracic pain between my shoulder blades and had dealt with horrible treatment ever since the vocal surgery. My legs and neck were burning and restless and no one was listening. After 3 ER visits…..I went to behavioral hospital. They gave me Cymbalta and my leg and nerve pain subsided. I know now that I have a bulge in my neck at C5 or 6 and a bulge in my thoracic. After all these years I have been afraid to go off the Cymbalta and have battled symptoms, I recently tried to go off Cymbalta and after about a week. I feel like my whole left side is a horrible mess…….that the Cymbalta was covering up. From above my ear on the right, follow that down at an angle across my thoracic, include my left arm and side, circle up to across my face to the right temple. My left ear has been shrunk and plastered to my head ever since . Sometimes worse than others. I saw on ytube after the surgery, a video on overextending and how you handle the body under anesthesia. Because this had to be caused by my surgeon., drs don’t help. I finally have a pain management who does help a bit. I had success with a ganglion nerve block, etc. I am writing this and researching tonight because I had no idea that underneath the affects of Cymbalta was all of this pain…..being masked….. still affecting me……sweating has always been there. Do you understand what happened to me? How can I get treatment that requires any physician to acknowledge how the condition started? Can I get healed from this overextended damage?
I am so interested in anaesthesia. I am doing my internship after being a nurse for a 16 years. At 40. Is there any chance for me in getting into anaesthesia training?
