Hi, im somewhat confused and looking for some advice.
I underwent minimally invasive spinal surgery 13months ago and have recovered really well. However last week I started getting a sharp pain in my left bicep and randomly it was followed by me becoming really tired?? I know its not gym related or muscular as i haven't done any upper body work. My question is im 6 days on and the sharp pain is now 80% what it was and stable but i went for a 10min walk tonight and im now exhausted. I dont mean tired, i mean my body was shaking the last 3mins of the walk and ive just got upstairs onto the bed.
Im going to the dr tomorrow as this is totally unlike me but my brother jokingly (although concerned) if i knew what a cardiac or panic attack felt like, which i dont? I suppose my question is does anyone know what either of these should feel like?
I appreciate anyones comments or advice
Hi there
Sorry to hear you have further problems. I can't offer you any specific suggestions but is of relevance?
Write down all your symptoms so that when you get to the doctors you can give him/her all the relevant details. When I go I always forget something if I don't have it written down.
Hope you get some answers. All the best.
Dr Appointment
Saw the dr today. I gave him nothing but the symptoms and he was perceptive enough to see the stress. Quick blood pressure and he thinks i've serious anxiety issues. I pretty much knew when i walked in there thanks to good old google what the dr might say and it does fit in with how i am at present.
Please dont copy this. I did have some pain relief from last year when i was getting over my spinal surgery. I had 1 oxycontin which i know historically zoned me out at 4pm and the pains gone. I had tried paracetamol etc for this and nothing worked. I know it was a bit stupid and im dumping the remaining drugs at the dr tomorrow. Im content now that i've got issues i need to resolve (and they arent solved by prescription drugs).
Anyway for those with similar symptoms just recognize the effects stress can manifest themselves physically.
