Not sure where to ask this, so thought I'd go general. I suddenly have a salty taste in my mouth that won't go away. Sweet things mask it for a minute, but it comes back right away and salty things are very intense. I've also noticed pain in my calves at night. Not really cramping, just sharp pain.

I've recently increased my exercise, so that may explain the calf. But, this salty taste is really bugging me. Any ideas?

Ask your surgeon. You could have an electrolyte imbalance of some sort...or something else going on.
