I had L5-S1 spinal fusion about 3 weeks ago, now I feel really tired and I sweat super heavy at night and in the day. I dont have a fever but Im really lethargic, I feel sick, and I sweat like crazy. Is this normal or something I should be worried about?
Dear patient L5s1 fusion is major surgery and blood loss may be significant at the time of surgery. This leads to anemia in which patient feels tired and wants rest all the time. He gets fatigue on walking few steps and gets breathless. I would like to advise complete blood count with peripheral smear examination to confirm diagnosis. You need to consult your operating surgeon with report.  Meanwhile, start tab ferrous sulfate twice a day. Thanks
