[|Human|] I had surgery on my knee (meniscus) 4 days ago & this morning I woke up with a massive calf cramp. I could barely put weight on it. It has been the same all day long. I am wondering if it is a blood clot or just a leg cramp. I have been trying to walk properly & using the exercise bike 3 times a day for 5 minutes.
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. Meniscus tear surgery patient usually complains of thigh and calf pain. It is not a serious issue. I hope your doctor has asked you to start walking. Ankle exercise and waking will take care of calf pain. Some time very tight compression bandage is also cause of this.  If this pain remain for more than 12 hours or increases than you need to get Doppler examination of the calf muscles to make sure that it is not a clot. You might need to take tablet Broken if pain is very severe. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
