A member asked:
Why would i shiver a week after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several Reasons: Even minor surgery is an insult to your bodies equilibrium. It takes several weeks if not months to recover fully. Shivering is your bodies way to elevate your temperature. Share this with your surgeon. An infection could also cause you to shiver and elevate your body's temperature.
