Welcome at HCM... I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns... In my opinion there is no association between these two s.... Sometimes in prolonged bedridden patients they do develop deep vein thrombosis which causes pain and swelling in leg...but I don t find it in your history.. If you were bedridden with poor mobilization after surgery then you should be looked for DVT... Just compare two legs and look for warmth and increase in diameter of the affected leg then meer your doctor.if not then need not to worry about just take acetaminophen to relieve pain.
