A friend of mine had surgery on her left foot yesterday morning. For the last few hours she says her left leg feels hot . No swelling, no redness, but it feels hot. She s been advised to go back to the ER if she feels worse. What could this be? DVT?
Hi, As your friend underwent surgery for the foot, post surgery there might be some fresh burning sensation which is common. Still your friend can have a word with a surgeon who has operated. As you mentioned surgery was done just yesterday.  With simple medications things will be fine. It is for sure not a DVT. DVT might not occur suddenly after the surgery, and this might be just because of tight bandage. Getting it showed it always recommended Rather avoiding it. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
