Pain, Uncomfortable, Advice Please???
I had a hysterectomy 4/26. Starting 4/28 I started getting fevers (it actually started the night of the the 27, but the night nurse ignored me). The fever got as high as 102+ but they let me go home 4/29 as planned. I have been getting fevers daily and they are controlled with the motrin, but is this normal? I feel just awful when I get them, like l have the flu.
I also had issues when they took my catheter out (less than 24 hours later). I couldn't pee. They straight cath'd me once and ended up putting the catheter back in for about another 12 hours. I slowly began to pee on my own, but it is still really uncomfortable both in my abdomen and actually peeing (unless my bladder is really full then its just uncomfortable in my abdomen).
I am so miserable, I don't know what to do. My appetite doesn't really exist and I drink as much as I can, but I dread the consequences. Has anyone else ever experienced any of this or does anyone have any advice?

Call your Dr. You should not be having a fever and this much pain. I also had an abdominal hysterectomy and did extremely well with it.
Have they done blood work to check for infection? I would insist on having that done. A fever means there's an infection going on. They need to find out why, where it's coming from, fix the problem and get you on antibiotics.

it was an abdominal hysterectomy. I've had my urine tested, I don't have a bladder or kidney infection and no bladder or kidney stones. I have pain and the fever won't quit. It got up to 101.6 yesterday and I am on 800 mg motrin every 8 hours.
