Question:
I know, Call the doctor.... having dull headache, not feeling like eating, achy..

I'm going on 7 post op. For the last week I've been feeling not so myself. Tired all the time, like mentioned above havin' a dull headache, feeling blah about eating, kinda achy.. I'm gonna call for an appointment, but was wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms about this time? Just getting suggestions to bring to their attention?    — Michelle J.

Dehydration is common post op. Make sure you're drinking a LOT! Broth will give you some added sodium which is something else easily depleted. Try that and let your DR know when you go in. GOOD LUCK!

I have been feeling the same way for the last couple of weeks and attributed it to my foot surgery on the 14th but now I really think it is seasonal allergies. I'm tired, can't get enough sleep, have a dull headache and just feel kind of blah too. I'm paying really close attention to my water to be sure I don't get dehydrated and that does seem to help. I'd increase my fluids and try to get to bed a little earlier at night for two or three days. If that doesn't help, DEFINITELY call the doctor. Hope you feel better soon.
