What is out there for me to help?

Hi there.
I think you might be suffering from a nerve root irritation or compression which might have happened at the time of surgery.
For this an immediate MRI needs to be done to find the site of compression.
You need to be kept on oxygen inhalation.
Stomach aches could be due to side effects of the medicines which are being given to you.
Good luck.
