Afraid of surgery
Hi! I’ve suffered from MALS for years which i did not know for a long time. I’m afraid of getting surgery because since a few months i got into a stage where i have upper abdominal nerve pain, burning sensations and it feels like getting stabbed. I can’t deal with the pain and I don’t even know what a normal night of sleep looks like. I don’t have a lot of apetite left and i’m forcing myself to survive on nutridrinks. I lost a lot of weight, ended up in the hospital for 2 months total. It’s a long story.
Anyways, i’m afraid surgery will “activate” my nerves even more and I have nothing to deal with the pain. I read stories about healing journeys for like a year or so. Do you all lay in bed for a whole year to recover? Or can you still do groceries, house chores, work etc.?
