to wear off. My hubby had an op under general a week today for trapped nerves in elbow - most nights he gets an attack of shivers and shakes - does not last long - but is this normal ?

My husband had a 6 hour operation in january and the doctor said it could take up to 5 days to completely clear it.

I hope yours feels better soon, bless him.

soudns like cos him a man mary
it always always gona be worse anestetic,


but i avent heard of this
seriously i think he need see GP

i didnt mean seriously i think oh my god yer i go again

i meant it may be best get thier advise,
im srue it just cos it on the nerve

Depends on his condition going down to theatre, length of time under it, reaction to that particular anaesthetic, extent of op.

Oh loads of things!

Is he overtired? He still needs to heal and that takes a lot of energy.

Hope he feels better soon and that the op was a success for him.

Thanks for replies - he is not a good patient . thought he would have op and next day everything would be onky dory - and it dont work like that does it ? Sure he will be ok given time - after all he is 60 !!

Love Mary xx

PLEASE

HAVE HIM CHECKED OUT HUN

HE MAY HAVE AN INFECTION

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

Hi, it could not be anything at all to do with his recent op, but a different matter completley.
How is he during the day? If at all concerned call NHS Direct or do some Googling.

Hope he gets well soon.

Anaesthetic (I think)!

It can also have an effect if your husband has had to come off any other drugs, or a change of drugs.
even people who drink large amounts of tea and coffee, or smoke....these can contribute.....
BUT I would see the doctor....
better safe etc

I agree he should mention it to a doctor, as has been said before, he may have an infection.

Hope he feels better soon.

If he checks out OK with the physician, (good idea first), have him drink plenty of water to help flush things out.
Some people take a lot longer than 5 days for a general anaesthetic to wear off, longer if you don't drink enough water/clear fluids.

depends vedry much on how long you are under and how you react to anaesthetic - for me a short time under takes days and days to recover from

I had a short period under general anaesthetic last Thursday. Still suffering the effects - which are sleepiness and an inability to 'settle' to anything. From previous experience it takes me about 3 weeks to recover.
I will fall asleep at the drop of a hat - and need at least 2 hours sleep during the day - not shivers and shakes - I should get him checked out!!
