Finally! This sounds like a repeat performance. Like yourself, I had emergency surgery 2.5 years ago, the numerous return visits to my surgeon, pain management practices (injections), pain medication, specialists. I have also been told this is a rare problem, but patients need to be aware of this. Although my pain has lessened (or I have learned to live with some of it) I take ibuprofen 4-5 times daily in multiple doses instead of prescription pain killers. I too was diagnosed with depression and take medication for that since my surgery.
