What Causes Painful Pressure In The Calf After A Brain Surgery?
Hi, my wife had brain surgery one year ago, ever since she has a sensation of having a heavy cast around her calf. sometimes the pressure sensation is so strong that it hurts . she has seen many doctors about the issue but no one seems to come up with a treatment or solution for the problem . is there anything you could recommend ?

Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
It may be deep vein thrombosis which is common condition after any surgical procedures including brain surgery. She must do Doppler ultrasound to rule out deep vein thrombosis and then further treatment can be planned.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
