what could be causing numbness, constipation, vomitting and extreme weight loss?
I'm 6 months post op and am experiencing numbness in my hands and face, severe constipation and abdominal pain. I can't keep hardly any food/water down. I try to drink a few ounces of sugar-free carnation instant breakfast and it's a 50/50 chance I can keep it down. I have no sensation on when I need to have a bowel movement and usually go 1x per week but it's very difficult. I'm so exhausted I'm unable to work.(blood work done and not anemic) I'm 5'5 and 108 pounds after a three day loss of 10 pounds. I've TRIED to work with my surgeon on this but he WILL NOT see me. I've tried to work with my pcp and a Gastro specialist and they've run tests and just tell me they don't know what it is and give me pain meds. I've been to the Urgent Care and they've sent me away with pain meds. Yesterday, the latest Dr. told me to go to a pain mgmt. clinic. I want to know what could be CAUSING the pain and symptoms! Does anyone have any ideas of what might be going on and what questions to ask a doctor who will deal with this situation? I'm very scared and need help!
