Fever following Spinal Fusion Surgery?
A good friend of mine was operated on she had spinal fusion on 3 vertibrae, screws etc.
This was two days now, and she is not up and about yet, altho' today she did stand with a walker. She is running a fever of 101-2f which the doctors do not seem partictularly alarmed about, they are treating it with tylenol.
Should I be concerned?
They originally said there would be a four day hospital stay and 4 days in rehab. I am having a hard time believing that she will be well enough to leave the hosp. in two days, even to go to rehab.
Answers:
the fever is low grade and treated appropriately. have your friend ask to speak with the surgeon on call to answer her questions.
At least she is still in the hospital being monitored. Post surgery is a common side effect. She will only be released if she is stable, the most important thing is for her to stay positive and work with the therapist for a fast recovery
