Re: 2 Months Post-op ; continuing mild fevers

[Guest guest]

I'm not a doctor...just to start with that! You probably already

know this, but fevers are not always a sign of something bad. Many

if not all times it's a sign that our body is fighting something.

Since I am pre-op, I cannot share...but perhaps others will kick

in! )

Best to you, Ramana,

Hi Ramana,

I'm not a doctor but I am in nursing school so I am aware of a few

things that could be causing your fevers. The most likely thing it

could be is that your body may still be in shock after having a

major surgery. If it normally takes you a while to get over a virus

or infection or just completely heal in general then this could

explain your fevers. Another and very unlikely answer could be that

your body may actually be that while in surgery or recovery

afterwards you contracted an infection which did not show up on an x-

ray because it is simply inflamed tissue and will not interact badly

with your surgical area. I would recommend that you talk to your

doctor about starting on a low dose of antibiotics to see if that

helps at all. I just want to reinforce that I am not a doctor and

also that although I am almost finished with nursing school I am not

yet a full nurse. I hope some of this helps you.

Good luck,

Hi a,

Thanks for your note. I will see the doctor again and seek his

opinion also. I met him one week back and he advised me to watch the

situation for some more time.

Hi ,

Thanks for the note. My doctor seems to be thinking that my fevers

were not due to something serious. He feels that it is due to

recovery process. He asked me to watch the situation for some more

time. I hope that it will down soon.

Are you considering the resurfacing ? Resurfacing went well for me.

Good luck to you,
