Question

I wear my garment aND stockings as suggested by my PS...there is a sharp pain that starts from the back of my left thigh to the joining of the knee. There is no pain or tenderness from the calf down...I can hardly put pressure on that foot and it is extremely painful when touched..I've also been running a temperature that doesn't exceed 100.8 .d Does this seem normal?

I would call your plastic surgeon and see him or her today.  You could have a DVT but best to find out for sure.  This is something not to be taken lightly

Sounds like a potential major complication - DVT! Seek a scan and notify your surgeon TODAY!AFTER reading all your postings PLEASE seek immediate medical intervention since you are a Diabetic with posterior knee pain-- MUST rule out DVT. I see you used a clinic that offers NO follow up care. Go to ER ASAP...
