cattamika, Hi, welcome to PC. Not knowing much about your circumstance, I can assure you that stress will elevate symptoms of anything, let alone PTSD. Having surgeries would be stressful to me.... I would be toast if I was in your shoes.

Do you have a therapist? Meditate? Walk? Deep breath?, stuff like that, to help you calm down? Live where you feel safe and there is peace and quiet, to give you time to heal?

I hope you find relief.
