surgery with pcs
 

Just wondering if anyone has had to undergo surgery while suffering the effects of PCS. Did you have an increase in symptoms following anaesthesia?

Thanks

I had surgery 6 months post accident...not a general anesthetic but a hybrid one that conks you out and wipes your memory of the event. Was super groggy for a few days but I don't think it had long term effects. It may be different for a general.

Some people have problems from the anesthesia. You should discuss this with the anesthesiologist. Some anesthetics are better than others.

Abdominal surgery requires the strongest anesthesia from what I understand.

I've had a couple of minor procedures. The one with aneasthetic/sedation went well, while the one with none was tougher since my body was more stressed...

I had local anathesia. Had vision bluriness for a few hours but then it was normal. I actually found I felt better after. Less fogginess, headaches.

I did forget to mention that it did take me longer than normal to come out of the anathesia than they expected. No idea if this was due to PCS or not. I asked my anathesialogist before about my PCS and he said it was ok, but in a manner that made me confident he was just guessing and no one really knows.
