I agree with you, Lois.
If the pain or symptoms start right after surgery, what are the chances it DID NOT COME FROM THE SURGERY?
The are so many nerves, muscles, veins, bones, etc., it has to be difficult even for the best, experienced surgeon.
Today, with medical malpractice suits, you are not going to get a doctor to admit to anything.
Our choice is to sue or find a way to either live with the results or find a 'cure.'

@grandmar....about surgery and neuropathy. The most likely cause of my trigeminal neuralgia was a neck disection to remove a salivary gland tumor. Tumor had to go. Doc was an artist sewing me up. But what went on during surgery is anyone's guess. But my doctor believes the ETN nicked the trigeminal nerve.
There are risks attached to any surgery, but it's no stretch to put blame on the surgery. Trigeminal neuralgia is no picnic. Can't say I regret the surgery, but surely regret the aftermath. 😥
