What Causes Severe Leg Cramps After A D&C Procedure?
Question: Hello,
I had a D&C procedure for a non viable pregnancy last week and ever since I have been having these leg cramps that come and go. I have read online and because most of the times it suggests a blood clot I am not quite sure what I should do. It is not unberable pain but it can extend from my calf to my upper thigh and lower back. It is mostly felt after a lot of movement
