Two weeks ago I had lathroscopic surgery to remove my gallbladder. The surgery was performed under emg circumstances. My pancreas was inflamed. Since surgery I have pain in my left calf. At times sharp and causing weakness. Mostly constant cramp like feeling. Could this be connected
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Prolonged surgery can cause a condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which may cause calf pain. You can consult a general practitioner and get a venous Doppler done to rule out DVT. Once the DVT is ruled out, you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain. Wishing you good health. Thanks.
