hello, I had surgery 1/20/11, and starting that night, I started running a fever. They ran test and everything came back ok, so they let me come home. Sense then I've been running a low grade temp, the highest it's been is 99.5 sense I've been home, and it still scares me. I have no other problems or leekage, Does anyone else have this problem? I'm just concerned, and a little scared.....please help me with any advice you may have...thanks in advance!!!!

I would not be all that concerned. Keep in mind that you just had SURGERY....a major organ (the Skin) was punctured several times....a low grade fever can be part of the healing process for a while. Most people heal quite fast. For some, it takes a little while longer.

If it does not clear by the middle of next week, I would see your PCP.....

Don't worry, it is most likely a small reaction to the surgery.....
