Will The Warm Sensation In The Calf Cause Clots?
Hi - I had gallbladder surgery(laproscopically) 2 weeks ago. For the last 3 days i have been experiencing a warm sensation on the lateral portion of my right calf. No pain and no swelling or redness is present. I am not taking any birth control pills and do not have any history of a clotting disorder. The feeling seems warm, but feels like a normal temp to the touch. Feels like a heater is touching that portion of my leg and then it goes away after a few seconds. I am a non-smoking, 36 year old nursing mom. Just had my 3rd csection 2 months ago. I am not on any birth control pills. i will be seeing my surgeon for a follow up this week, but am worried it may be a developing clot? But am hoping its a pinched nerve or something from swimming the other day or crossing my legs(which i know is bad)?

Hello. Without any calf muscle pain or swelling of the leg, this doesn't sound at all like a clot but more like a pinched nerve. Have your doctor check it out when you have the chance
