Hello. About a week ago my husband had anterior/posterior lumbar surgery with spinal fusion. He was under anesthesia for about 4 hours. Since he s been home he s had to urinate frequently. Is this normal? He did have a build up of fluid in his body. His feet and legs were swollen but this seems to have subsided. Thank you.
Thank you for asking Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. Well if the surgery is performed safely without involving nerve roots then its normal for 1-2 months.I will also like to know the age of your husband and co-morbid conditions like diabetes and hypertension status. Also restrict your husband not to lift heavy weights, stairs climbing and bike riding.give him proper rest...he will be fine with in 15 days. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
