What Causes Legs Tremor And Weakness After Cubital Tunnel Release Surgery?

I had surgery today. I had left Cubital tunnel release. After I woke from the anesthesia both of my legs were shaking profusely. that was at 12:15 this noon. the problem is they still shake. Especially when I get up to walk around. They feel so weak and shake with every step that I fear to fall. Any idea what this could be.

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got injury for carpal tunnel release surgery .After that you shaking of both of your legs. It can be due to effect of anesthesia and weakness due to surgery if only few days before surgery was done . It will recover its own. If more than 5-7days has passed then it may be due to cause unrelated to anaesthesia and surgery. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
