2 years agor my wife was going into outpatient surgery for cist removal in fallopian tubes and tying of tubes. Something serious happend after, to this day we do not know what happened. She lasted 12 days in hospital under so called observation. She had no stegnth in muscles and heat in back of head. She looked out of it. I thought she was going to die because she was so bad. Doctors sent us to neurosurgeon after the 12 days and now she is taking anxiety pills and anti depresents. She was perfectly normal. It took her almost 2 years to get most of her strength back but still deals with weakness and depression. Her legs buckle. Is there an exam she can take to see if there is anything worng in her body or can you make recommendstion?

Your wife was sent to a specialist (the Neurosurgeon). What did they say was the cause of all of this?

I took her twice to the emergencyward the day after surgery was done becuase of the symptoms I mentioned. The doctors and neurosurgeon could not determine anyhting. They were saying it was the anxiety and depression. I told them she was a very energetic and positive person. She never had these syptoms prior to surgery.

The surgeon who operated on her said she had extensive mass build up inside the lining due to hormones which he scraped off. I dont know what he meant. Could the anesthesia cause someting like this to a person?
