What Is The Cause Of Pain In The Knees And Calves After A Vasectomy?
2 weeks ago i had a vasectomy, when i sit at my desk i get pain in my knees and calves that feels like a lack of circulation, if i go for a walk it goes away for the most part but not altogether. It is a dull ache nearly a cramp and and it can become quite painful.

Hello,
Vasectomy may not cause pain in the calves and knees. Pain may be due to restless leg syndrome or hypokalemia or anemia. Use tablet alprazolam 0.25mg may give relief. Use tablet ultracet for five days. If no improvement please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
