Leg cramps

I am 1 week post op and am having leg and feet cramps. I'm getting the required amount of liquids. Has anyone else had this problem?

YES!!!! Every time I would take a step it would cramp up, even when I layed down and stretched the wrong way it would cramp up...it went on for about 3wks

So it should go away? I go back to the doc tomorrow and have a bunch of questions for him, this will be one of them. Thanks!

I had terrible leg cramps in both legs. They went away as soon as I started Vitamins.< /p>

I'm on prescribed potassium because of cramping, I'm allergic to high potassium foods. Over the counter does not absorb well my doctor says. Looks like i will be smashing these up after surgery because they are horse pills.< /p>

Had this problem at 2 1/2 months post op. Added a dried apricot to my day. Cramps went away.

Yea it should....I was prescribed Lovanox which is a blood thinner...my doc said it was for my legs because I could get clots in them so when I was feeling the cramping I would panic but when u went to my 2week post op check up he told me not to worry and that it was normal and shortly after it went away.
