Had A Key Hole Surgery To Remove Appendix. Pulsating Sensation In The Leg. Reason?

Hi, I have recently had keyhole surgery to remove my appendix. Although it has been about a month now. However, I am usually an extremely active person, and have gone from exercising 2 hours a day to doing nothing (as I am in my final 2 weeks of University so spending every hour I have in the library). I am experiencing a really odd pulsating sensation in my right leg, on the inside of the knee. It pulses randomly, along with my hearts pulse, and it really jerks me and shocks me every time it does it. Any idea what this may be? Thanks.

Very unlikely that it has a relationship to your recent laparoscopic surgery of appendix. Might be related to your sitting down for long periods of time in a particular position. Suggest you to take breaks often and do stretch your legs often by either having a short walk of do some bending of knee and ankle joints.
