Bruising sore to touch 4 weeks post op

I'll be 4 weeks out in 2 days, but I'm still bruised and sore to touch. I'm still on the blood thinners for another week or so, but today the soreness to touch went from my inner thigh to my calf. Should I be concerned about blood clots?

Soreness is on inner part of calf muscle, not the back which is what I was told to look out for.

    Hi Yomike, 

    I agree with Janeane - have it checked out asap to get peace of mind - probably just tenderness and soreness from the surgery, but still 

    Keep us posted okay?

    how are you doing otherwise?

    big warm hug
