leg muscle pain

[pestypat]

This discussion is related to morning stiffness and balance problems.


I have never written on a computer before, and I'm not sure that this will even be seen.  I just don't know what to do so I can only try.  I just had same day surgery on Friday. I felt great and had no
kind of pain when I left the hospital. I went straight to work.  when I woke up on Saturday I couldn't walk. My legs hurt so so much. Now it is Sunday and they still hurt . It is hard to get up and move.
the surgery that i had was to remove two sinutises  and some tumers  which was done through my nose. My question is . How long after surgery does it take for my leg muscles to work?  I would
really appreciate any answer .  thank you so much

thank you for taking the time to help me. My legs do not hurt when I squeeze my calf.
my friend told me that my leg muscles hurt because of the anesthetic that i had on Friday
from my endoscopic sinus surgery.  I just want to know how long this will last and what i can do to be able to walk with out the pain and the fear of falling down.  again thank you

Hello.

Have you considered deep vein thrombosis ? It occurs after a surgical procedure. And legs are the common site for DVT.

Do you get pain when you squeeze the calf ? If yes, the probability of DVT increases. In this case, you will have to rush to the doctor for confirmation of the diagnosis. Avoid too many movements of the feet.

Keep me posted.
