Leg pain diagnosis: You did not mention the diagnosis, or type of surgery. Is it a clot, a lesion, a ruptured tendon? Without clarification regarding treatment. Maybe it would be suitable to consult another doctor's opinion. If this is an urgent situation get him to get a second opinion as soon as possible.
