What Causes Chills After A Knee Surgery?
I am struggling after knee surgery; I ve been on Zofran but the drs assistant didn t get the refill request in time and I spent the weekend without any. I m back on it now, after a day of vomiting, and I feel like I have chills from a fever but no fever and then I get real hot for a few minutes and then chills again

Hello,
It can happen after a major surgery as a side effect of anesthesia. You have to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated to rule out conditions like local infection which can also cause chills.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
