It's weird... When u touch the back of my legs around the calf to ankle area it feels sore. I had surgery may 1st. Any idea what this is ?

Any redness and are they hot to the touch???? Are you doing alot of walking since your surgery???

If it persist I would call the doctor and tell them your symptons. First thing that comes to my mind would be a blood clot...

No red a lil warm. I move non stop.

Did you have those inflatable leg thingies on while in the hosp?

Yes for at least 2 or 3 days

If it continues, I would call your Dr./Nurse. Maybe a warm bath will help?

I'd call the doctor now. I did have a blood clot and they are BAD NEWS. I have a tendency to assume blood clots with unusual leg pain, I know, but the phone call will not hurt anything. Clots are a big risk for those of us who are early post-op. They are a big risk for obese people, period.

Def worth a shot. Thanx  I get nervous lol

I was sent home with a blood thinner for the first three weeks. I am not happy about the injectable but they say blood clots can be common with this surgery. Please call your doctor. Get well my friend!!!

Have you been in bed a lot with the sheets tucked in? If so, this can keep your feet bent down and will tighten your calves/heels until they're sore. I do agree with checking with doctor to rule out clots. But I learned while recovering from knee surgery that something as simple as the sheets being too tight can also do that.

Also, when you are sore in the core muscles of your body - the rest of your body can try to compensate. You may just be using those muscles more than you realize when you're on the move.

Called the office twice. Not even a service answered. Grrrrr 

Ok got intouch w service... Just playing the waiting game

I had one as well and the doctors scared the mess out of me with all the test and dopplers and medicine...no fun at all

Keep us updated.

Definitely call the doctor and have it checked out. Rule out a blood clot first because it's the most serious thing.

But, truthfully, when I read your post, the first thing I though was - Calcium deficiency. Especially if there's cramping too.

In any case, we can all guess and post our guesses, but the doctor has to see you and check it out for real.

Good luck!
