Tһіѕ occurred within tһе first twenty-four hours post surgery аחԁ іt һаԁ bееח tһе mοѕt acute pain I һаԁ еνеr experienced. Though tһе size οf lumps аחԁ intensity οf pain decreased each day іt lasted fοr six weeks. Tһіѕ һаѕ happened οח three separate occasions аftеr general anesthesia wаѕ administered.

    well i would assume that it is a reaction to the anesthesia.
    did you ever tell your surgeon or the anesthesiaologist about it happening in the past?
    if you’ve never told anyone that this seems to occur then you should certainly mention it to your general doctor next time you go. and be sure that in the prospect if you have to have any more surgeries that you clarify in detail what happened 3 times in the past cuz this could be a very serious reaction that could lead to your death if no one is aware of it.

    Your description sounds like swollen lymph nodes, and I’ve never heard of that as a reaction to anesthesia. I’m wondering if you have some underlying condition that manifests itself when your immune system is compromised after surgery/anesthesia.

    Did you show your surgeon(s) this when it was happening? That’s the time to get it evaluated.

    Lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) can be a medication reaction. The most likely culprit would be the antibiotic, as the additional drugs that causes it are not used in anesthesia.

    Here’s a excellent article on lymphadenopathy:

    As you can see, there are a lot of possible causes, and it may take some time to find out why you have that reaction.
