Hi @mattey24, I’m tagging @daphne2020 to make sure she sees your question about how she is doing. You might also appreciate reading comments by @jenirog70, who just had surgery in December and @barbiejk in this related discussion:

Mattey, I’m sorry that you’re feeling worse since the surgery. In what way are you feeling bad? Have you talked with your surgeon about how you’re doing?

Hi Colleen, thank you for your response, really appreciate it. No I have not spoken to the surgeon. I am in the UK. We get transferred to our GP after surgery which really doesn't work. As for my symptoms,
1. Ache behind nose.
2. Numbness and pulsating in head.
3.Raised heart rate, now always around 100bpm was always around 75bpm before surgery.
4. Extreme burning sensation over face and neck. Yet not to touch and my temperature is normal.
5. Heart Palpations.
6. I eat because I should but very little appetite.
7. Weak with very little energy.
8. Pains in joints.
My pituitary Tumor was removed on 14.12.23. It was dormant so should have had minimal hormonal effect. Prior surgery I had bad headaches but that was all Now all this.
Thank you again for contacting me. I will be so pleased to get any advice.
Matt
