Leg pain

[SophP]

I have recently had Laparoscopy (under 2 weeks ago) and have gained leg pain since yesterday. It's more of a muscular pain, happens when I walk. It's on my right leg and the pain is in the right thigh on the outer side of my leg. It feels bruised when I walk but not when I press it...very odd. Any advice? Thank you..

Hello Soph, I too got leg pain after surgery!

I rang the doctor and they said its normal and will eventually travel down and go to your foot and out! Sounds strange but the pain did end in my foot and leave!

Hope you feel better soon xx

Well that's fascinating! It's very strange. Glad I'm not the only one - haha. Thank you! Xxx

Do see a Gp or nurse as whilst it may be noting to worry about leg pain after surgery can be sign of a blood clot.
