I'm not surprised at the limitation of motion by the knee joint, but one worries about the presence of.phlebitis when calf pain swelling or tenderness follows a period of.reduced mobilization and prolonged cast wearing. Get checked by your MD who would probably order a leg ultrasound depending upon physical findings. Your knee joint will improve with appropriate physical therapy when approved byMD
