What Causes Nausea And Insomnia After A Knee Replacement Surgery?
I had bilateral knee replacement two months ago. For the next five weeks I was nauseated and had insomnia. Dr. Found I had a UTI and after 5 days of antibiotics I felt much better. Insomnia is gone. Early this week I came down with flu symptoms, including nausea and diarrhea. This is now day 3. Is there any correlation between the two events?

- Gastritis via certain food elements
- Side effect of antibiotics, pain killer medicines, calcium tablets or others given for surgery recovery
* The insomnia is partial due to possible pain at operation site or stress, anxiety.
