Suggest Medication For Abdominal Pain And Fatigue

I had abdominal surgery 7 weeks ago post op recovery uneventful. I had none of the symptoms below during this time. Since returning to work 4 weeks ago have experienced daily fatigue worsening after 7 pm and all over aching type pain, with particular joint pain in Right elbow and left ankle.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

You have not mentioned the details about your abdominal surgery, and the duration there in. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a CBC, a thyroid function test and a routine blood sugar as a base line investigation. Till the reports arrive, I would advise you with a multivitamin, an anti inflammatory drug for a symptomatic relief of your pain in elbow and ankle which might have occurred due to pressure on the operating table (not necessarily) for a symptomatic relief. Further management would depend on the clinical assessment and reports of the investigations.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
