A member asked:

Had hernia surgery on 12 december and in the last 2 days i have noticed grape sized knot on my calf and it aches constantly somtimes into my foot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Phlebitis: A knot on calf as described post surgery usually represents a clot in the superficial saphenous venous system. This can induce symptoms of a post phelbitic state. May need blood thinners and compression socks
