My SD was Dec 19 and so far so good, but I noticed the other day that my left calf started to hurt. It felt like I had a huge Charlie horse but I never did..just the soreness..it's been two days now and when I woke up this morning it was really sore to walk on..I didn't think to much of it till I noticed the tenderness hasn't gone away. Is it possible I could of had a cramp while I slept that didn't wake me? Or should I call my dr.? Ty

Call your doc...

See your Doc asap

Those are pretty classic symptoms of a deep vein thrombosis (blood clot). Call your surgeon or go in to the ER.

How are you doing Netterz?

Definitely call your doctor. I had that after one of my knee surgeries and it turned out that mine was a cramp from hobbling around, it they said it presents just like a blood clot.

Happy New Years everyone..I did call my surgeon and he had me come right in and then sent me to hospital to get a lower extremities vein ultrasound and thanks to the lord it came back clear?? He said to continue wAtching it and if it persists or gets worse to f/u with him. It's still tender but better ?

I had my surgery 12/29/17. I noticed while walking the front of my legs felt heavy and numb like. I was walking around Walmart buying a blender and a scale. Lost 11 pounds so far! But I am sooooo hungry. Makes me angry..I drink water and I start to burp and it hurts. Now I felt one of my incisions tugging and I noticed a watery pink yellowish fluid sipping out. I have metal stitches. I am afraid that my body is rejecting the stitches. It has happen before. I am calling theme in the morning.
