Doctors frequently focus on treating our symptoms rather than looking at the long-term impact of side effects. What is something that a doctor did not tell you about your treatment that caused issues later on? An example: when I had a lumpectomy, no one told me to do stretching exercises, and I ended up with a frozen shoulder. I’d love to hear any of your experiences that you feel comfortable sharing.
a med given to prevent bleeding during procedure can cause low sodium rection... First time hyponatrimia--3 days of hosp. to stabilize. 2nd time, several years later: seizures, hyponatrimia, encephalitis, unwitnessed falls resulting in spinal fractures. 50 days in hosp. Brain finally healing...but will never be taking that med again. Platelet transfusions from now on.
