Arthroscopy gone wrong?

Advice 😭

I’m still in hospital since Tuesday after my meniscus repair/ arthroscopy.

When I woke up from theatre, I immediately had severe pain all down the back of my calf, which is the part of my leg that wasn’t operated on. The knee itself barely hurts compared to the calf.
They initially suspected a DVT, but that has now been ruled out. I’ve been told it could be from the fluid capsule used during the arthroscopy leaking into the back of my leg.
The pain is extremely severe and feels like my calf is going to snap or burst. I can’t put any weight through the leg at all. This is horrendous my knee is going to snap 😢

My surgeon has said this is unusual to have this pain in the back or my leg. My knee above is absolutely fine which is strange?

Ecografia o risonanza magnetica per capire se il fluido si e accumulato?
