Surgery On Right Medial Malleolus, Pain And Pressure In Right Lower Posterior Femur In Sciatic Nerve Division. Normal ?
I had surgery on my right medial malleolus this last wednesday because I fractured it playing soccer. I expected pain in the ankle, but I am also experiencing a great deal of pain(6-7) and pressure in my right lower posterior femur in the area of the sciatic nerve division. The pressure feels like a badly pulled hamstring and I was wondering if this is a normal post-op symptom. Thanks.
