1 week post op low grade fever

Hello I had my surgery August 29 and been lots of pain. Now I am running low grade temp 99.1 to 99.9 with lots of pain on my right side. I had a full hysterotomy with everything removed. Is this normal and should I get checked out sorry if this confuses anyone I'm new here

I had terrible pain after my DaVinci as well. I was on meds for the first couple of weeks. Have you been up on your feet a lot or maybe walked to far today? As far as the fever, I don't know what constitues a fever after surgery. I'd think anything over 100*, but if you are worried a call to the Dr tomorrow wouldn't hurt, if for no other reason than to ease your mind. Do you have some pain medication that you can take? Do you still have your appendix?

I do still have my appendix and do have pain meds but doesnt seem to be easing the pain. I hate feeling helpless with all the changes.

I would call the Dr then and tell him/her what's going on. Maybe they can fit you in just to make sure you don't have an infection brewing. Have them give you a new Rx for a different pain med. The only thing that worked for me for the first week was Percocet, the pain was really bad.

Call your Dr asap! I had a low fever and the next day woke up in extreme pain with a bad infection. It really was miserable.

Thank you guys I went to the er and I have a start of an infection so the put me on antibotics and more pain meds.

I'm glad you were smarter than me. I waited a day and was hospitalized because the infection was so bad after waiting one day!

Thats what I was afaird would happen if I waited to long. I was putting it off for a bit cause I am so sick of hospitals and drs. So I thought maybe it would just go away but it didnt.

Good! I hope the antibiotics kick in and the new pain meds help you get through it.
