Hello @louiel and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sorry to hear of all of the problems that you are having post-surgery. You must feel very tired as well as in pain.
I have just a few questions if you don't mind sharing more: When your doctor found this inflammation, 2 months after surgery, did he restart you on antibiotics or offer you any other suggestions? You said that you ran a high fever for 12 hours. How high was the fever?
I would highly recommend that you call the doctor's office and leave a message regarding the fever and pain and the fact that the current pain med is not helping. It might also be a good idea to see if you should be taking another antibioltic.
I would really like to hear how you are doing. Will you post an update after your call to the doctor? If the pain and fever come back again remember that you can go to the ER or other walk-in clinic to have an evaluation and blood work done.
