Hi,

It is common to experience pain, swelling, and a mild fever after shoulder reconstruction surgery. These symptoms usually improve over time as the body heals. However, if the pain and fever become more severe, it could be a sign of infection or other complications.

It is important to follow your doctor's instructions on pain management and to keep the surgical site clean and dry. You may also be advised to use ice packs and elevate your arm to help reduce swelling. If you have concerns about the symptoms you are experiencing, it is important to contact your doctor right away. They may recommend further evaluation or treatment to help manage your symptoms and promote healing.

If you require a personalized response, kindly use the Ask A Doctor service and post a follow-up. Take care. Hope I have answered your question.
