What Causes Night Sweating After Total Knee Replacement Surgery?
My wife had a left knee total replacement on Monday, released home Thursday and has done well. On Oxycodone as needed for pain, Friday night, we had severe night sweats. Otherwise, no other symptoms. Could this be just getting over the anthesis or what other causes could cause this? She only had these night sweats 1 night.

Dear patient
There is no association between night sweats and total knee replacement surgery. We have to look for medical cause.she must be around 60 years of age. Is she having cardiac problem or is chemical heart disease? If it's for single time do not worry. If it's repeated then take visit to cardiologist and get her examined. All the best.
