I had cervical spinal fusion on Monday and was of course put under. Since then I noticed a weird smell when I sweat and no matter how much I was or deodorant I use I still smell. Is this normal?
Does general anesteshia cause a smell after surgery?

Sometimes this can be very normal until it completely gets out of your system depending on what they used. My son just had surgery on his shoulder & they used propanol along with another drug, & he also is having this problem. He says he can still taste it. He had a reaction to it also, of making him very sick. This should go away soon. Hope you are doing well...
