I would assume the only way to know for sure is after several surgeries which I hope would never be the case.
I never even thought of those problems as being a reaction to anesthesia. I don't recall having those issues when I had surgery back in 2002, but then again that was so long ago.

I will be calling my primary care physician tomorrow to make an appointment to follow up on this. I tend to get wiped out easily with everything going on lately & figured I would wait a little bit before making an appointment.

The post op problems explain some weird symptoms that I have been dealing with for well over a year that my primary care doctor hasn't been able to figure out. I should probably just look for another doctor....lol
