Hello doctor,
I am 37 years old. Three years ago I had spine surgery for herniated disc L5-S1. After the surgery strange symptoms began. Four hours after surgery when I tried to sleep I got myoclonic jerks. Then I had problem with ligaments. My ligaments started to stretch so easily that I began to hurt myself. I was healthy before surgery and had no problems. I also have hyperreflexia. I have done MRI of head and whole spine and the reports are fine. Rheumatologic test and genetic test for connective tissue are negative too. Muscle enzyme and EMG testing's were fine. But, my problem is getting worse. And all this started after general anesthesia and never stopped. Neurologist says I have hyperreflexia and it is symmetrical. But they do not know the reason for the same. Can this be something neurological? Is there any neurological condition that would affect ligaments? Which tests do I need to do? Please help.

Hi doctor,
I was given Midazolam 2 mg, Propofol 200 mg, Cefazolin 2 mg, Atropine 1 mg, Fentanyl 0.3 mg, Rocuronium 40 mg, Neostigmine 2.5 mg and anesthetic Sevoflurane 63.5 ml. For pain after surgery they gave me Tramadol 200 mg and Metamizole 2.5 mg. I am aware that it has to do something with anesthesia but I do not know what. The feeling is like all the medicines go into ligaments and never get out. As crazy as it sounds.

Hello doctor,
No one in our family has that and I was completely healthy before. And the symptoms began immediately after surgery. They tested all genes. And they also say that I am not typical for genetic diseases. I am desperate because of all the pain and disabilities. When I go to orthopedician, he is afraid to examine me. I do not feel like I have some disease but still falling apart. Which specialist to go to?

Hello doctor,
Thanks for answering. Since operation I have something like sleep myoclonus. Just before falling asleep my hands, feet and fingers start to move all of a sudden, that wake me of. It is not like when falling asleep and you think you will fall than you twitch. I did not have any of this before surgery. Should EEG be done? My doctor said this laxity could be related to enzyme. Which specialist should I meet for enzyme test?
