I had a pretty significant outpatient procedure last Friday. General anesthesia and all. My MS symptoms seem to have gotten worse. Having a tough time bouncing back in general, too. Your experience?

Yes that happens after having surgery sometimes it should be ok if not call a nurse and ask them or a doctor.
I had my left knee replacement & did just fine with my MS. I developed an infection in my knee. That's what kept me in the hospital a couple of days longer. I had a great recovery. Finished my PT sooner than expected.
🙏Thank you for all the shares, well wishes, and faith filled encouragement, everyone! It's been a week and I'm feeling much stronger, back to my pre-surgery MS self. I let Jesus take the wheel and instruct me on how to take care of myself. Plenty of rest, plenty of fluids (water, kombucha, orange juice), and super healthy eats. Excelsior!!! 🙌
Anesthesia is tough , a lot of people have a hard time bouncing back even without ms . Your body goes through trauma and stress when you have surgery, you don’t feel it thank goodness, but it does . I would imagine it is normal for your ms symptoms to be exacerbated for a while after but just reach out to your neurologist to be sure . I hope you feel better soon @A MyMSTeam Member
I just recently had a procedure on my back, DDD, degeneracy disc disease. It's called the Intercept Procedure, (basically cauterizes nerves (😱) in my back. They put me under, I was okay after.
