I have recently noticed a very noticeable difference in the size of one of my calve muscles.should I be concerned? Is this a possible side effect of surgery?

I basically just want to know if this is something my surgeon should be notified about or if I should just go to my regular doctor fir evaluation.

I don't know if it a cramp caused due to a diet deficiency or http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/sport-injuries/ankle-achilles-shin-pain/calf-pain. Either one stinks. Non-surgery related, so I'd go to GP.

I wouldn't mess with it. I'd call the surgeon. It's so easy to develop a DVT (deep vein thrombosis). It's probably nothing, but why take the chance? If it is concerning you, then call the surgeon. He'll want to know.

Put your mind to ease.

Let us know how you make out. Be Healthy.

I second the call the surgeon. One sign of a blood clot (DVT) is a swollen calf. Please get it checked.

What I mean is the muscle on my dominant leg has shrunk. I used to have trouble rolling my pant legs over my calves and still do with my left leg and it still has muscle definition but my right leg has lost muscle mass and is soft and doesn't seem quite as strong as it used to. Was thinking maybe it's a sign I'm not getting enough protein? I exercise and go on walks often so it's not from sitting around and doing nothing. There is no pain but I have noticed that my toes go numb on my right foot sometimes.
