What Causes Cramps In The Lower Leg And Back Of The Thigh After A Hip Replacement?

I had a hip replacement and I keep having this leg cramp in the back of my thigh and lower leg. I found my self yesterday suffering with a cramp across the left side of my abdomen. The cramp in my leg feels like the skin is being pressured in to the bone

Hi,

Its mostly due to disc problem or lack of exercise of thigh muscles which is ut most important.

So do physiotherapy.

Have tab.aceclofenac100mg +thiocolchicoside 4mg twice a day by prescription of your family doctor.

Have lot of liquid in diet.

If possible send me xray of replaced hip with thigh xray in AP view.
