My face feels warm to the touch and so does my forearms feels like I can barely move them like they have been major over exercised. Anyone else experience anything like this?

I think I would get seen by your surgeon ASAP, call them first thing in the AM. It could be an allergic reaction to the anesthetic or medication you received for pain, but aches in the extremities and skin rashes are never a good thing. If your tongue starts to swell, you have difficulty breathing, or anything like that, get to the ER immediately.

They released me from the hospital like that.

I agree with ProkChopExpress. Call you surgeon. It could be nothing but you don't want to risk it being something. Good luck!

This happened to me after my endoscopy and it was what they used to relax my muscles with the anesthesia. I was sore over my whole body for a week

I had my surgery on Monday. Hv had same experience in my face. Mine happens late afternoon/ early evening and is accompanied by low grade temp. I was told a random low grade temp would be normal following this surgery. Anything over 101 was concern

Good luck. Just wanted you to know you're not alone

Me too! Had surgery Tuesday and I've had the same random flushed look. The nurse and I discussed it before discharge and she said it could be from the pain meds. No temp just flushed look.

I agree probably from the pain meds or anastasia. Definitely ask your doctor.

I am an RN and it's probably a side effect of the drug decadron given by anesthesiologist during surgery-they give it to reduce Or help prevent Nausea post op. It usually causes facial and chest flushing 1-2 days post op-your face feels warm too.

Other than that I'm feeling ok taking the fluids in slowly not tolerating the milky shakes too well but I got Atkins life Protein Water and I like it pretty good just alternating drinks of it with Water

Dont take my post too seriously.. But in oriental medicine they say that the internal organs gives balance. From what I know , without the stomach to control heat (stomach controls heat in the body), body heat rises to the top of the body, (which causes flushing and Hair loss and ice cold feed). I'm getting really worried that this will happen to me too.

I had this it was very uncomfortable I had red cheeks and my scalp was red and sore it was so weird. In my instance it turned out to be the painkillers I was on. I had two pain killers a slow release and a quick one for increased pain. For me I was having a reaction to the stronger pain killer and as I was about four days out and feeling ok I stopped taking it and stuck to the slow release and all good!! In saying that I still think to talk to your nurse/surgeon because I would hate for it to be something different.
