I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this pain after surgery. I had surgery on tuesday and when I walk I feel like I have charlie horses in my calves. I'm not sure if this is from the compression bags they put on my legs durning surgery or should I worry about blood clots I don't notice any bruising on my legs and I've been walking a lot

You need to call your Dr.

It could be anything from blood clots to low potassium due to dehydration. I'm a betting more on dehydration, but I Am not a Dr.

Your Dr got paid very well, let me work for you.

Me=him

Agree! It's probably deydration, but you should call the doc just in case.

yep, from what i understand about clots (it hurts like you wouldnt believe) so just to be safe and to ease your mind (as my friends kah and maddys) said, just give your dr a jingle on the phone and let them know what is going on.

are you drinking your 64+ oz per day of liquid?

all the best to you

I had this after surgery actually and it subsided after a week or two. I would still ask your dr. I got mine checked out just to make sureand he said it was normal (honestly, I forget what he said could cause it) but he did a thorough exam. I remember if I would put my legs up on my ottomon, they hurt putting pressure against my calves.
