Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
It could be due to DVT(deep vein thrombosis) caused after delivery.
For that you have to get your Doppler ultrasound of the leg and review with report.
If you have DVT than you require hospital addmission and anticoagulant therapy (heparin)
Take some calcium and iron tablets also.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
Regards
