Post op leg pain, is that normal?

[cndalbs 0]

Hello everyone, I was banded on 9/30 and started experiencing leg pain before being released from the hosp. They did an ultra sound on both legs to test for blood clots, the tests were fine and I was sent home; however, my legs hurt like it does after a good workout. Has anyone else experienced this??

Thanks, any help or suggestions are appreciated. :smile2:

If you can rule out blood clots, it could be what someone on this forum said about my post op arm pain.

I am 10 days post op, but up until like the 5th day I had intense burning forearm pain in both arms. They were also VERY hot to the touch.

Someone said it could be from the after affects of the muscle relaxant they give you before surgery.

It subsided after 5 or 6 days and is completely gone now. In fact most of my pain is gone, I have maybe pain level 2 occasionally. But the gas still comes around! :smile2:

I hope it's nothing serious and temporary!

Some people get numbness in their arms and legs after the surgery because the operating tables are narrow and we are not. Soooo their weight is not well supported which leads to nerve issues. Perhaps this is what is causing your problem.

I am doing a lot better today. The leg pain is virtually gone and I'm walking fine. whew! Not sure what caused it but I'm glad it's over with. :smile2:
