[|Human|] I had foot surgery 5 wks ago and just got ou of my cast two days ago. I have been dealing with painful calf muscle since. I had occasional cramps with cast but now it is constant tightness. I did not have this issue when my other foot was done last year. I am drinking lots of fluids and have taken muscle relaxer methocarbonal but no real relief. Should I be concerned about blood clot?
[|AI|]  Hithank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you had a foot surgery and just out of the cast there will be a little pain in the calf muscles. Also, formation of the clot is a rare chance so nothing to worry. Besides, using a quick icing technique should help reduce the pain. After which physical therapy might be needed as per the advice of the surgeon later-on. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
