Has anyone else gotten PSTD from well-intentioned but excruciatingly painful orthopedic surgeries? My PTSD is primarily from a string of reconstructive surgeries when I was around 4-5 with minimal emotional support... in additional to significant emotional neglect and moderate physical neglect from ages 1-5.
 
Hi Nuance,
i have PTSD from orthopedic surgeries, or I rather might say they are the major part of my trauma.
First surgeries was with two years old, and a lot of them followed till I was close to 20. Those procedures were for my best, ‘needed’ one might say…
Those procedures leaded into month after month of enormous pain, physical helplessness etc. and as you said, I also didn’t have emotional support at all.

Hope it helps to know you are not alone.
