A member asked:
I am 24 days post op from knee chondroplasty and synovectomy (3rd degree arthritis.) is bad thigh muscle pain normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Call your physician: Its really difficult to tell. Thigh pain can be common following surgery due to the procedure as well as the possible tourniquet used. Your surgeon will know the specific details of your case and be able to offer you guidance. Another visit to their office might be necessary to exam your leg and look for signs of infection, dvt, or tell if its just expected post op findings.
