Hello, I got ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery 8 days ago and first off the nerve blockers they attempted didn’t work so when I woke up after surgery I was in immediate pain it was horrible they gave me some medications and then after 3 hours I was ready to go to the bathroom and leave and when I stood up and went to the bathroom with assistance I urinated and was feeling okay and then when I was leaving the bathroom I suddenly felt off seeing stars and was becoming clammy cold, diaphoretic and losing hearing, so I almost passed out which led to them keeping me for 2 more hours but they didn’t see anything wrong so they let me go home. Now onto the Constipation story 6 days post op I still hadn’t managed to poop even though I was taking laxatives every day the medications not helping with that but, on day 6 I decided it would be a good idea to take more laxatives so I did as the pill I was taking wasn’t working so I got a liquid one that seemed to do the trick because for the next 6 hours my abdomen was in immense pain from cramps and led to me clogging the toilet and to pass out while pooping and waking up and being driven to the nearest hospital where I was having diarrhea and bleeding and having dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, cold/clammy skin, whenever I moved around. I was in the hospital for 5 hours and they didn’t blood tests and the final diagnosis was that due to the massive amount of shit and strain on my body from de-loading that shit I became severely dehydrated explaining the syncope symptoms. Anyways that is my story have a good day.
