A member asked:

Is calf cramping a week after achilles surgery normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jeffrey Trantalis, DPM answered

I would imagine you are in a cast and the calf involved is the same leg. Drink plenty of electrolytes If pain continues mention to surgeon. Your cast might need to be repositioned.
