I had total hip replacement surgery 1 week ago. During the recovery period, I feel pain in the knee area and the calf muscles of the leg. I have slight blood clot below the knee - diagnosed in the hospital. My DVT INR results are 1.8 at this time, which doctors are bringing to 2-3 by adjusting Coumadin doses.
I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this kind of pain - how long does it last?
I am able to walk with a walker and crutches without much problem; however, when I get up and lift my leg, I feel a 50 lb weight in my thigh/hip area. Is this common? How long does this pain last?
When does the pain from the hip go away?
If anyone can throw some light on the above 3 sets of questions, would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
YMS
