Did you do anything at all different yesterday?
Did the surgeon do anything unusual? Twist your leg or bend it ?
Did you have to travel far to see surgeon?
Did you do anything excessive at all yesterday?

I am feeling for you big time. I can only say see or ring your surgeon first thing.
Yesterday I tested myself by driving, about 25-30 minutes, it went relatively well. Bit last night pain woke me at 1.00 am, and every hour or so after. Icing now to see how it goes. Really feeling pressure tob get back to work.
Sorry to share this when you are in similar or worse pain.
Take care,
Alan

i would try and take it easy for a few days elevate ice and pain relief regularly and rest up and hopefully you will feel better really soon, I'm finding it a bit frustrating not being able. To get about but hoping in the long run that were all be free of pain and able to lead normal lives take care 😀

Overall I am very happy with things so far.
As Cheryl on here keeps reminding us all, a positive attitude is key.
I am a very positive person, but on a couple of occasions in the past 8 weeks it has been challenged.
When this happens I remind myself that there are people a lot worse off health wise than me, and I appreciate my luck.
Take care,
Alan

I wonder about massage helping, but also worry about blood clots.
