Hello,
If your symptoms are during a postoperative period you might be suffering from deep vein thrombosis as this is known and established complication of immobility which is often required in individuals who undergo surgery.
In case the symptoms are not during postoperative period let me know when the problem started?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar, Psychiatrist
