Leg pain

Has anyone experienced leg pain? If so how do you know it's not just a passing pain? About a week after surgery I had a slight pain to the side of my knee and only really felt it when I walked.. However in the past weeks the pain has increased when a walk on this knee. I hate to have to call doc office if its not related to my surgery. Should I just go to primary care doc or call surgeon's office?

Goodness, I would say..be cautious..and call your surgeon...Just be safe. Since you are so early post-op. If you are concerned..then...to me ...it means you better call. Please let us know an update! Its better to be cautious...you worked really hard to get this surgery..and this is the time..we are finally taking the signs our bodies are giving us..more seriously. Be good to yourself..and have this looked at...(sorry..the mom in me is coming out). Hugs to you! Kimberly

Thanks for the advice. I just hope it turns out to be nothing. Aisha

I'm taking a guess here...and I always recommend calling our surgeons...could it be??? That you are up moving around more and it's a 'pull' or arthritis type pain? If you are walking and moving more than your body is used to...it could be a bit of nothing. Still, let us know what is up... Take care, valerie

Definately call the docs - they will prob. recomend going toget a scan to rule out blood clots.

Just dittoin' on all that the others said. Make sure you post and let us know what you find out. Linda
