Disc degenerative diseases that cause nerve root pressure or damage, pressure on the spinal cord/pressure on the tail bone are frequent causes of fecal incontinence. Other causes could be chronic laxative use, chronic constipation, recent bowel surgery, decreased awareness rectal fullness or need to defecate, severe hemorrhoids, stress and even emotional problems (so, this is a possibility in your case).
I am attending a specialised stroke clinic tomorrow and seing a consultant neurologist, however I feel that when other causes of the stroke are explored it will probably be diagnosed as being caused as you say by the bone spur.
I have researched the surgery proceedure so am prepared should it be neccessary.
s unfortunate experience. Sometimes unexpected things happen during surgery, and this may be one of them. From what you say, your father's brain did not get enough oxygen for 3-5 minutes. This can cause some brain damage just the way a stroke does, and sometimes, stroke victims experience something called "Pseudobulbar affect," a condition which causes extreme emotional responses to things that are usually just normal stuff.
s from the Flomax my husband takes and that it will take longer for his vision to clear.(the Dr. was aware of the flomax before surg.) What has been your experience with this troublesome outcome? My husband is very discouraged.
I had what they call a stroke - it was caused by burst aneurisms in my brain. It took 9 surgeries and finally a shunt in my head. That was September. What I want to know is, is it 'normal' to feel pressure and sometimes a 'giddy' feeling? Apparently my brain will take at least a year to 'heal'. I am doing really well, but my head feels this way, and my neck where the shunt tube goes swells..
Has anyone ever heard of someone waking up after major bypass surgery completley blind? This happened to my father 12 days ago and he still cant see anything. The doctors here are stumped and the only thing they can come up with is he has ishmethic optic neaurpothy. Just wondering if anyone has had or heard of this happening and if there is anything we can do.
My mother suffered a watershed stroke during or after cardiac surgery 7 years ago. She is still paralyzed on her right side but regained other skills through my constant care and talking about memories she had lost. She is now 88 and her short-term memory is failing. My question is regarding mood swings. Does this type of stroke affect one's ability to manage anger? She is almost bi-polar with me and I don't always see the change coming.
There are many factors in determining the recovery of a stroke patient after a surgery. This includes the type of stroke, severity of symptoms, how much the body is involved, medical condition of the patient ( presence of diabetes, hypertension, heart conditions), age, over-all health and even the type of surgery done. It is best that you discuss this with his attending physicians for proper evaluation and to clear any worries. Take care and do keep us posted.
Hi, I have had anxieties like yours before but I want to assure you that that the possibility of your having had a stroke, or that the biopsy caused some kind of obstruction in the brain, or clotting, is minimal. Really unlikely! Yes, one should avoid things like aspirin before surgery but seriously, if you took one or two it won't hurt you.
It is also not unreasonable that you would have a headache after an anxiety provoking procedure like the one you had.
I don't see any polls? There are multiple reasons for Bells Palsy but many are from viruses with herpes on the list. However, so is influenza, and many other viruses. It's from damage to nerves in the face. Trauma can also cause this and people with diabetes are more prone to get it. I have a friend who got it out of nowhere. Never did she figure out why. But the good news is it does NOT mean you are likely to have a stroke.
My father had surgery to remove his gall bladder. The surgery went fine, and after 2 hours in the recovery room he was then taken to his regualar room to rest. We spoke to him before going home and he was fine. at around 11:30 p.m. the nurse found him unresponsive and he was not breathing they estimated for about 5 minutes. Now my father is in ICU and the doctors have done numerous test on him and they can't seem to explain why he stopped breathing.
They found that short-term confusion, memory loss, and poorer problem solving and information processing are common after bypass surgery, but are usually temporary and reversible. Most people return to their pre-bypass level of function between 3 and 12 weeks after surgery.
Long-term changes occur, too, but these are usually mild and tend to affect things such as how fast you can solve problems or process information.
