Fever and horrible symptoms 2 days post hysterectomy (10/6) - UPDATED 10/15
Hi everyone! I am brand new here and I'm so thankful I found this site! I had LAVH on Thursday Oct 6th. I kept both ovaries. Surgery was smooth and I spent overnight in the hospital. Saturday was good, I just rested all day. Saturday night - I woke up all night long with chills, sweats, and extreme pain all over my body. I checked my temp in the morning and it's over 102. I went to ER right away and they ran blood cultures, urine, and a CT scan. They told me everything looked normal and I may just have some inflammation in the vaginal cuff.i was prescribed 875mg of Augmentin antibiotic twice a day and sent home. About five hours after getting home I began to have horrible chills. My body was shaking uncontrollably. We called the ER and they said there is nothing they can do and I should follow up with the OBGYN. So I have been on the antibiotics for over 24 hours, as well as Motrin and Tylenol and I still have a low grade fever that averages about 100.6 all day. Anyone familiar with these symptoms? I'm thinking an infection of some sort and I do have an appt tomorrow afternoon. I just overall do not feel well. I'm pale, in body pain, nauseous, etc. Thanks in advance!

Have you talked to your surgeon? If not I think you should.

She mentioned that she has an appointment this afternoon.
rapunzelrenee.....I'm so sorry that you are feeling so horrible and having to deal with this. Please let us know how the appointment today goes. I sure that you feel better soon! (I'm hoping that you wake up this morning, feeling a bit better, now that those antibiotics have had time to get into your system.)

Fever and horrible symptoms 2 days post hysterectomy (10/6) - UPDATED 10/15
Hello ladies! Thank you for your replies! I was hospitalized on Tuesday morning and finally home. They believe the fever was unrelated to my surgery and every single test and lab came back normal. So I have no answers on that unfortunately. I am home now, trying to readjust to healing my surgery. I really would like to get out of the house but I don't want to overdo it.

Re: Fever and horrible symptoms 2 days post hysterectomy
I wonder if you caught something during your first hospital stay? Although you'd think they would have found it in the tests. Hospitals are such germy places! Glad you're home and doing better!

I agree with the previous poster that you may have caught something; I've seen it in this forum many times. What happens is that the surgical antibiotics upset the normal, protective balance of bacteria inside your intestinal tract, leaving you vulnerable to these types of infections, and if you're taking antibiotics, that can upset the balance even more. What I would recommend is a probiotic supplement, or regular servings of live culture yogurt, to restore this balance. Here's hoping you'll be over this soon, and back on the road to recovery!
