So my number 1 concern before surgery was blood clots. I asked a lot of questions before and after and my medical team did not seem as concerned as I was. I am Post op 7 days now and I'm wondering if anyone experienced leg cramping and pain like I am. I get cramps in both legs but tonight my right leg is cramping and throbbing. No redness and no swelling and it's not hot to touch...did anyone experience any if this?

Your electrolytes may be off. Try some gatorade. See if that helps. What you are describing does not sound like a clot sounds more like an electrolyte deficiency. Are you taking your post op Vitamins? When you are laying in bed/couch do some ankle pumps and try to move about as much as tolerated. Feel better.

Yes dehydration also causes cramps...increase your liquids and do the foot exercises.

I know cramps can be very uncomfortable.add electrolytes to your liquids.

Get well soon.
