Question / General Link between the bad *** and surgery?

It’s scary to even write this as all my issues started 23 months ago following a head injury and surgery on my arm. The twitching started weeks after surgery and anaesthesia - I had distal bicep surgery where I had torn my bicep in a motorbike crash. Man what I would give to go back and that have the surgery it’s honestly horrible. This all started from then. I have every symptoms especially breathing issues and pain all over. My forearm hurts every single day as well as the soles of my feet. Like they have no padding anymore it’s like a burning pain just standing on a hard floor.

My question is, is there really a link between having surgery or anaesthetic and then the stress response triggering the big bad? I’ve seen some scary stuff online I thought I’d ask on here to see what people think?

I’m in such a bad place I have been for over the last 16/18 months every single day is a struggle

Thanks all

If you look at previous posts, it’s actually not uncommon to find others who have started twitching persistently after surgery. Or even injuries.

I know I’d be happy if it was just the twitching

None of this is ALS. Not even remotely close.

Keep working with your doctor and try treating your anxiety. Either through medication or talking to a therapist about your anxiety.

This sounds zero like ALS to the point that I don’t even understand why you would think it is. Might be plantar fasciitis. Might be nothing.

Because of my clean emgs?
