Had a tummy tuck two weeks ago . Stayed active and did my walks right after surgery and the two weeks. Both legs right calf and left knee ache or will twitch . How do I know if it's a blood clot ?! There is no swelling , heat , etc just odd aches in legs and sometimes feet .
Answer: Leg pain Thank you for submitting your question. Leg pain after tummy tuck is always a bit concerning. Fortunately,with the advances in medicine, there are very easy ways to rule out vein thrombosis. Please be sure to notify your plastic surgeon of your symptoms. This certainly deserves an evaluation and he may elect to send you for Doppler scans of your leg veins. This is simple and quick and can certainly put everyone's mind at ease.

Answer: I hope you've seen your surgeon by now as your symptoms are not classic for blood clots but no one wants to mess with blood clots as the risks and outcomes are too severe to simply stand by and watch more.
