Does anyone else remember waking up with sore calf muscles? I feel like I did an amazing workout while I was under! I'm it is from the compression things.

Your body may also lack Potassium and Magnesium (or even Calcium). I suggest to take an extra supplement of these.

After my surgery, I did have sore muscles and after watching the surgery done on Youtube, I understand why. The Drs spread your legs wide, so they can work from between your legs.

If you're waking up with muscle cramps, I would have to agree with Potassium depletion, more fluids.

If the calf pain persists get it checked, could be a blood clot in your leg. I have one n it broke off n traveled to my lungs so I have blood clots all through my lungs, life threatening situation. I've been in the ICU. It's nothing to mess with.

Karenw - my legs were not spread open. In fact, my feet were pressed up against a foot board as the table is inclined a bit as the doctor works.
