Post Op pain in leg

Hi, I am 2 weeks post op, have been taking it easy and am doing
great. I have the hint of a charlie horse in the back of one of my
legs. Is this common? I was thinking it was just from spending so
much time off my feet. Does anyone know the symptoms for blood
clots and how far after surgery they might occur?

I welcome your responses.

Thanks, Shay Tigner

    Shay, on and off I’ve had charley horses - but I’ve had them when
    I’ve changed my diet to high protein in the past. You might check
    with your PCP. It could be an imbalance in your potassium or
    calcium, others have used quinine pills or even diet tonic water (a
    glass of it before bed) to help. Meantime, be sure you’re getting
    your walking in, and if you’re worried, again, call your PCP.

    Hello shay, my name is Betty I had surgery nov 17th
    2003. When I woke up from surgery I had leg cramps
    really bad. The nurse rubbed the cramps out. It was
    caused because I was dehydrated. I am afraid of
    getting dehydrated again, because it is hard for me to
    drink enough water. I can’t seem to get enough in.
    anyway thought i would share what happened to me with
    you, Thank you all for the support!
