What Causes Profuse Sweating After Undergoing Ankle Surgery?

I have been taking hydrocodone acetaminophen 7.5 300 norco tablets for almost a week now - surgery on my right ankle last Tuesday, and haven t experienced sweating like this until tonight. Took oxycodone at around 6 or 7 then took 2 of the hydros around 10 and woke up at 12 and then 2 each time my mattress wet from sweat. Sleeping on my back with foot elevated. I m not feeling bad, hot or cold either. It s mostly coming from my back not chest. Am I ok?
