7 days rny post op. Did anyone else have horrible leg pain and light headedness at this point after surgery? Those are my main two issues now. Stomach hardly hurts now

I did not have any leg pain, you may want to call your surgeon.

I would be worried about a blood clot, you need to be seen!

Yes due to not taking calcium. I took the damn calcium & wala no more leg pain or not pain but having the sleepy feeling

I am almost 6 weeks post op and still have leg pain in my thigh. Surgeon didnt really say much about it but I have a friend who is a neurologist and he said it sometimes happen to people after surgery. The reason is they strap u on the operating table and they make it very tight sometimes causing a little nerve damage. He told me it will most likely go away over time. I hope so because sometimes is a stabbing pain and sometimes it feels like my thigh is on fire.

Get that checked. Stabbing pain could mean something more serious.

I had leg pain so I got checked for blood clots but was nothing

I urge you to have your potassium checked! I was hospitalized or 4 days due to potassium deficiency and will tell you that the IV of potassium hurts like hell! You do not want to go thru this if you don't have to!

I had mine checked along with electrolytes ect..... had a Doppler of my leg and nothing. 6 weeks out and no signs of getting better. Other than the leg pain I feel awesome.

I have Lymphedema and also having a lot of leg pain they sent me to a Vascular Dr he did a Venous Droppler liking to see how the blood was flowing he said sometimes in some veins it will flow down instead of up and that causes pain and swelling I had this and there going to cortorize these veins to help this is done in the dr office

I also have had trouble with my pottassium level and have to take potassium taste bad its a tablet you dissolve in water but much better then liquid or in IV cause that burns very bad

I'm 4 months out and I have sporadic pain on my right thigh too. It's suppose to go away over time.

Agreed! The pain caused by the IV potassium brought tears to my eyes.

I too had leg pain in my right leg after surgery. Fir a few weeks. The Dr wasnt worried at all.

He says it happens.

Someone else also told me it happens when youre under and they strap you too tightly or something like that, damaging a nerve.
