i'm not on any meds except pain medicine.
Tomorrow i will talk to my psychiatrist who is calling this dr to communicate for me. i have DID and it's difficult for me to voice my symptoms and stand up for myself with this pain mangement dr.
The day of the surgery the dr changed his mind about giving the sedation that he agreed to (i needed it) and instead gave a large quanity of xylocaine. i couldn't feel anything from the waist down for two hours- especially it took a long time to wear off in my right leg. i'm afraid that the large amount of xylocaine hurt the nerves in my right leg.
i'm not sure why i'm having numbness in my right foot and leg but it's so scary for me. Wouldn't it be for you? It's the foot i use when driving- i've neve had numbness like this in my life before and i hope that it can get better.
i'm trying not to panic.i hope that it's reversable and that i can find a good dr to find the correct diagnosis and treat the pelvic pain.
Thanks for your support. i have a parts. One of my parts is very hopeless but not most of us. The rest of us are in better control of emotions but have a hard time communicating. I don't take medication for the dissociative disorder because there aren't any that help.
It's so hard to be misunderstood all my life.
