Hi,

I just wanted to ask veterans about how you were asked to monitor your legs for complications because you normally don't see your doctor more than once in 2 weeks and things could go wrong in 2 weeks (right?).

What are some bad symptoms your surgeon told you to watch out for while distracting (like numbness / tingling)? And how could you distinguish between good and bad pain?

Kindly reply only if you've had the operation or have spoken to a surgeon about this.

Thanks
