I just had knee surgery and get painful muscle spasms when i rest. is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal after surgery: While local muscle spasms after surgery in the area are common, they should go away with healing. If not, the surgeon should be contacted for additional assessment as indicated. Feel better
