My legs were sore then too... Both legs... Weird... My surgeon made me get an venous ultra sound for blood clots ... Thankfully they weren't but it's better to be safe then sorry!

There's a lot going on that could cause muscle/leg aches. Decreased mobility, decreased Water, decreased nutrients, etc. that said I do recommend calling your surgeon. You did just have major surgery and blood clots are one of the risks associated with it. It's probably not that, but if it is then it's an emergency situation and needs to be addressed immediately (and yes you can get clots in booth legs, it's not as common but is possible).

Good luck!!!!
