Vascular neuropathy?

Hi @jair19 I believe my neuropathy was related to a circulation issue when it was accidentally caused during my last surgical repair of my AVM. A circulatory surgeon performed an endovascular embolization. Although he assured me I was lucky no nerves were cut during the procedure, I was left with neuropathy on the left side of my body from head to toe. In the recovery room he told me the numbness, pins and needles feeling will eventually go away. It is now exactly 4 years later and I am still dealing with its effects. I too have had digestive issues besides the muscle weakness. Not sure how much of it is related to the neuropathy or the AVM deficits. I know the burning of my esophagus and stomach started after my neuropathy was brought on which was 4 months after my AVM. Toni

Hello avmcbellar and @jair, avmcbellar, this seems inexcusable! Does this doc know what happened as the result of this surgery? I personally find it strange that he assured you you were lucky no nerves were cut during the procedure. Me thinks thou doth protest too much! That is a HUGE red flag to me. I'm not a litigious person but this screams of a case here. I feel awful about what you've suffered. I will uphold you in my thoughts and prayers. Warmest and best wishes, Sunnyflower
