Brief Answer:
Can be Vitamin D3 deficiency or electrolyte imbalance.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The over laxity of the ligaments is not likely to be related to the anaesthesia you had 2 years ago. If the rheumatological diseases and genetic diseases have been ruled out the the symptoms can be related to electrolyte imbalance or vitamin D3 deficiency. You need to start with regular exercise regimen also so that your muscles and ligaments gain the extra strength. Do start taking proper supplements after getting the blood tests done.
Please let me know the details like which joints are specifically lax, where is been the hyper-reflexia noticed and for which vertebrae was surgery done?
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello
Thanks for answering me. I did follow up question but did not get any answer so I will write again.
The surgery was done in L5-S1 disc. Hyperefleksia is in general all over the nody. Reflekses are symetrical. I have cervical instability and very tight muscles...scalene muscles. Maybe some simpatic nerves involved. MRi of a brain and whole spine did not show any abnormalities. My muscles are fine. EMG did not show any abnormalites. Only S1 is little damaged because of big hernia. I am vitamin D deficient but I take suplement that did improve deficiency but the symptoms remain. My electrolyte are ok. Calcium levels are fine. Sometimes I fell in my nervs like some impulses that don't hurt...but they fell like some disconection of a "wire". It all started after anasthesia. It all loks like something went in the body during anasthesia and never went of. Can this be from fluor which is in sevoflourane. I read that fluor can cause simptoms like genetic disease of connective tissue and is disrupting collagen production. I know that people are geting sevoflourane every day but maybe some hypersensitivity. This was my first general anasthesia. And symptoms began 5 hours after...than slowly progressing.My hormones are fine too. I don't have Borelia. And why I am vitamin D deficient if I am a lot in the sun? Vitamin B12 is ok. I went to alternative meticine testing and she sad that my adenosine triphosphate is low? I know that this is just alternative testing but she was right about other stuff too?
I hope I get answered this time

Brief Answer:
Can be due to sevoflurane.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If the symptoms started within hours of surgery and are persistent then it could be related to sevoflurane. It can cause hypersensitivity in some individuals resulting in different responses.
The persistent vitamin D deficiency needs to be corrected after proper supplements. Low levels of adenosine triphosphate can also cause all this.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
