I had my C section 3 weeks ago and took all 10 of those nasty blood thinning injections lol, and my legs have been achey ever since which is expected but since yesterday I’ve had a throbbing sore pain in my right calf but no swelling or redness and midwives say it’s nothing to worry about, but I have also been having hot sweats, has anyone else experienced these kind of symptoms??
Thanks

I would be going to get a second opinion. I didnt have pains in my legs but my hot sweats were from an infection

Hot sweats can just be from the hormonal swings. I was having night sweats for weeks post partum, like waking up drenched kind of sweats.
I would be slightly more concerned about the calf pain, I personally would probably go for a second opinion on that one.

Go get checked in A&E for piece of mind. You are still at risk for 6 weeks after having a baby and any good midwife should’ve sent you in for unilateral leg pain!
The hot sweats are totally normal though. That’s the post partum hormones. It’s horrible!

Def get a 2nd opinion . Also are you drinking enough ?
I get leg cramps when I need more fluid.
Drinking more minimised them

Hot sweats is hormonal, I got that after both babies. We stink as new mums as our scent helps baby, it’s gross but it’s normal.
I would speak to the midwife unit tbh about the leg pain, I didn’t get any sore legs.

I’m still experiencing similar pain in my left calf, don’t go to get it checked because I know the symptoms of thrombosis, which is probably the wrong thing to do, I should go get this checked. It’s been 8 month since this pain started 🫨😀

I had hot sweats. I believe it is hormonal as your body is regulating postpartum. If you are breast feeding, you go in a temporary menopause. Your pain in your calf is definitely something you should get checked out by a physician.
