A member asked:
Knee scope done under general anesthesia. waking up in recovery room i was shivering and shaking. why does that happen? have very sore muscles now.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GA: Shivering and shaking is quite common after an operation and its due to body temp changes. This can also happen after a GA. The muscle pains are probably due to the use of succinylcholine - which is a paralyzing agent - you would have to check your records. The muscle pains will resolve.
