Anyone else experience tightening and pain in calf when sitting down? Was told it's not a blood clot. I'm two months post op and this is a new symptom.

    O yes got that one. I use a muscle rub and a muscle relaxer. Also,purchased a air pump boot to massage the calves. Really helps me. Calves get all the strain trying to walk again. YIKES🤔

    That air pump thing sounds like a good idea.  They had them in hospital on both legs, no swelling at all..once out they swelled and were as hard as bullets.
