I was wondering if anyone ever experienced profuse sweating after the sugery?I had a L5-S1 lumbar fusion
Thanks,
Tracy

Tracy, i haven't had surgery, but i am considering it, andif you don't mind, I would like to know how it was, how much pain your in, what you can do now, what you can't do now, etc....
I'd appreciate the information very much.... Barbie

Hi, yep I did alot of that , enough so that in the middle of the night I would have to change p.js,and during the day it would come on out of nowhere, I think the body gets rid of the toxins that way,but what ever the reason , I know it can be a real bother,but does go away,Thank goodness.Diana

The sweating is normal , I think it has to do with the anesthesia.
After every surgery I have ever had I would sweat like that. When was your surgery? I had mine on Aug 19th. I am still in severe pain not sure if this is normal?!! Please tell me about your experiences.
Thanks and take care, Debbie

If you were given steroids post-op, to reduce swelling in the spinal canal...they may cause excessive sweating too. I personally didn't experience this, but it just makes sense to me that it could be the culprit.
