Possibly: The concern would be a DVT. Before you go to the hospital call your gynecologist and repeat your concern and see if he/she could arrange an outpatient evaluation, so you can avoid sitting in an ER full of flu patients.

"No sweat": Perspiration behind your knees may or may not be an issue with the previous surgery. If you have a fever then yes, if not probably not. Call your surgeon's office and ask them what is your next step.
