When my wife went in for surgery they gave her oxycodone... she was knocked out but squirming and scratching (still had IV's) so I found a nurse and firmly requested they change her meds, fortunately nurse was proactive and called the Dr. and got the meds changed.
When I had my carpel tunnel I had the same hot cold reaction, it was a cold rainy night and I was alternating between sitting on the couch wearing sweats wrapped in a blanket and going out in the porch in just my sweats to cool off, really freaked my wife out. Not sure if it was what they knocked me out with for the surgery or the pain killers the gave me to take home.
And this has my very worried about knee replacement in the near future... everyone I talked to has said it hurts A LOT.
