I had a hip replacement surgery jan 9th and was walking without a cane three weeks later. Two weeks after that I fell down the stairs and have no recollection of the event. My better half called an ambulance, apparently they took a lot of x rays and a CT scan. I have no recollection of anything, totaly missing about 16 hours of my life. Apparently I was screaming a lot and kicking off the hospital blankets, hubby does not believe at all that I was totaly out. I had a bad muscle strain that was extremely painfull but is slowly getting better. I dented the wall with my head and had two deep cuts. My symptoms are getting worse, headaches, dizziness, ringing in my ears, not interested in anything, bit of a short term memory loss, nausea and occasional vomitting. I had to discontinue physio for my hip replacement. I have a follow up appointment with my family doctor and I am not sure what to ask for. I am supposed to be back at work next month but I am not even sure I can handle it. Reading about carnitine, does it realy help?
