What Causes Painful Swelling On The Right Leg After A Surgery?
I had surgery last Thursday. Thought I was doing fine until last 2 days I started to have pain to the right leg, hip and butt side. Today I noticed a swollen large pocket like area. It s not really bruised but it is very painful. What should I do. I ve also been feeling nauseated & weak

Hello,
Pain in right leg associated with large pocket can be due to accumulation of pus abscess. Collection of pus or abscess can be associated with nausea and weakness. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and thus management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
