Hi everyone

I had sigmoid tumour removed by keyhole surgery 2 weeks ago. I am eating carefully and fine all day ,and although I still have watery diarrhoea in the evening about 9ish I start shivering feeling cold. I have trapped wind but can't fart really much . Has anyone else had this , I've had bloods done this week and they were all ok it's these shivers that are worrying   thankyou ,

  • Hello and thank you for posting.

    If you are feeling unwell then do contact someone in your hospital team. It may be that are coming down with something, that isn't associated with your surgery, but good to let them know about the shivering.

    If yuo are feeling unwell and no one gets back to you then to be on the safe side yuo could also contact the NHS on 111

    Take care, and I hope you feel better soon. If you want to talk anything through with the nurses on the helpline the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care

    Sarah
