Leg pain!! Started by: Chloe

Hey hun I’m 8 months post op and I had this issue too. I had a suspected blood clot in my chest two yrs prior to my Ba so I was being monitored for this.

I saw my surgeon day 7 post op after I had contacted the nurses who had forwarded the message. My surgeon was really concerned and prescribed me some pills which helped to stop the pain and sort my blood out as I had lots of pain in one. What she gave me was something I was given before I went on the pill to ease my blood flow and pain as my periods are really heavy. U can now get this over the counter in boots but u can’t have it if ur on the pill. Tbh ur GP or surgeon is the best person to see if u need this pill.

Get moving around to help ur circulation ie. Gentle walking and contact ur GP or nurse at the clinic to get checked over
Avoid wearing skinny jeans too I made the mistake of wearing them and my surgeon went nuts

Hope that helps fxxx

Hey hun ur welcome Yeh I pretty much wore skinny jeans from around day 5-6 I was tired of wearing my onesie or joggers.

It was like a dull pain that would be on and off amd just felt uncomfortable. I think I even slept with the pained leg propped up with a pillow underneath.

My surgeon gave me loads more pairs of the socks and made me wear my socks for another week or so amd told me to move my legs about a bit more. But she went absolutely nuts over my jeans I nearly cried!

Hope it improves soon hun and just try the out of hours line /email to see the nurse/ get them to forward onto ur surgeon.

Fxxx
