2 Unintended consequences of surgery for pain
Hello!
This week I want to tell you about the unintended and rarely explained consequences of having surgery to address pain. As well as having more than one operation to try and address the same pain.
Our view is that surgery is awesome, for very specific problems. For repairing the damage from an accident, fix a deformity a person was born with and repair life-threatening injuries.
For pain? We feel for almost everyone that has it, ends up worse off. It seems to do more harm than good.
The first unintended consequence is that surgery does permanent damage to the body.
The cutting and fixing and screwing parts together all do permanent harm.
Depending on the type of problem, that all may be worth it.
We feel, for pain or degeneration, it isn’t
The main unintended or rarely explained consequence of surgery is that the more operations are done, the more permanent damage is done and the more other problems develop because of it.
Let me explain using a different example.
Have you ever tried to fix something that broke? Like a chair or a plastic thing.
You try and glue it together with super glue. The glue holds for a while then breaks. Every time you try to fix it breaks a little more.
At first, the two pieces neatly fit perfectly together so they can be easily glued back together, now after “fixing” it a few times the pieces do not seem to fit as well.
Where there was one crack there are now many. Sloppy glued areas now cannot be cleaned and adding more glue just creates new places for it to break.
Until finally, you are sick and tired of trying to fix this thing, that keeps breaking, that you just go out and buy a new one.
The problem is, you cannot just go out and buy a whole new body.
That is what surgery after surgery does to the body.
Then, after all those surgeries, trying to fix the problems the first surgery caused the surgeon says “There is nothing more I can do for you”….
Do you want to become the next person a surgeon can do nothing for?
