Recently hospitalized for sepsis after shoulder surgery. i have been off antibiotic for over a week and starting to feel tired and one ankle seems swollen. is this a sign sepsis is returning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typical signs for sepsis, but possible specifically in this context. A variety of other conditions remain likely, too and work up will be needed.
