Risks & possible complications
- Primarily related to diagnostic procedures: Discomfort or bruising from EMG needle electrodes or nerve conduction studies.
- Potential side effects from prescribed medications (e.g., gastrointestinal issues from NSAIDs, mood changes from neuropathic pain drugs).
- Risk of incomplete recovery, with some patients experiencing residual muscle weakness or atrophy.
- Chronic neuropathic pain that can be difficult to manage.
- Joint stiffness or contractures if physical therapy is not diligently followed.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial focus is on aggressive pain control with prescribed medications to enable participation in therapy.
- Structured physical therapy is the cornerstone, starting with gentle range-of-motion exercises and progressing to strengthening.
- Occupational therapy may be recommended to assist with activities of daily living and adaptive techniques.

Had my gallbladder out last week....
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
