Over Reacting Nervous System After Surgery
 

I've been post-op for some years now and recently have been over-reacting in situations.

If the theory is that my nerve is now allowed more space to grow-out and flow, then it makes great sense that I'll have a greater reaction to things. If you think the nerve was compressed and needed more of a push to work than with it's new freedom, it will soar.

I often wish to bolt and run and move and also I cannot hold things in verbally that I did before. For instance, my fuse is shorter and I blurt things out without much filter. [I do believe I stored things in my shoulders and kept them tight].

In general, I believe my surgery and recovering from surgery is the source of this. If so, do I want to try to develop techniques to hold back and focus and refine my reactions.......or is it wise to let things just flow out since maybe it means I am getting better.

Has anyone had any of this!

Hey bro,

I have not had surgery, but I do know what you mean by carrying a lot of stuff in your shoulders. By that I think you mean stress, anxiety, emotions etc. My symptoms really came on during a stressful time in my life and I think the tension and stress in my neck and shoulders really played a giant roll in the worsening of my symptoms.

I don't really know what I can offer for advice.. but I'm trying to stay away from computers outside of work but my biggest issue is the phone.. try to stay away from things that stress you out.. try and do things that you love..
