Can Severe Hay Fever Cause Any Problem For Elbow Surgery?
hi, i am due to have surgery (decompression on my elbow) in a weeks time. I am currently taking a short course of steroids and antihistimine for severe hayfever, i have a dry un productive cough which is still present i have mild asthma but this is worsened during the summer months. will they still perform the surgery?
The symptoms of hayfever will not have any negative effects on the surgery scheduled. In fact before surgery day also, they will do all the possible precaution tests to make sure that surgery goes well and you get benefitted more.
But post surgery you need to do regular physiotherapy exercises for the elbow muscle strengthening and range of motion and also undergo Pulmonary rehabilitation under a cardiorespiratory physiotherapist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
