I am set to have endo tomorrow, where they will make an incision on the inside of each leg at the groin area and shove tubes up inside the aorta in order to repair a 5.8cm aneurysm.
I've had problems with general anesthesia before where I had massive and very painful stomach cramps for days afterwards, they were all but crippling.
I tried to explain this to the anesthesiologist at my post surgical interview and he claims he has never heard of such a thing. The surgery that caused that one was a complete bladder scrape to remove a cancerous tumor prior to chemo-radiation which had to be delayed until this stomach pain went away. It lasted about 10 days. A cough or a sneeze was a whole new experience in pain!
I tried to find out what was used on me for anesthesia but the hospital records department is unable to locate those pages of my files that would have explained the drugs that were used.

Anyone else?
