What should I do if my whole leg hurts after abdominal surgery?

Patient's question:

I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy a few weeks ago and underwent abdominal surgery. After two and a half months, my entire leg started to hurt, especially my thigh, as if it were being suspended by a tendon. I want to know what to do about the whole leg pain after two and a half months of abdominal surgery?

Doctor's answer:

The possibility of lower limb pain caused by surgery is relatively low. You can go to the hospital for lower limb vascular ultrasound, blood routine tests, rheumatoid factor tests, and thorough X-ray examinations to understand whether it is thrombosis, inflammation, rheumatism, or an orthopedic disease.
For ectopic pregnancy patients, daily treatment mainly focuses on symptomatic relief. Oral medications can be used, supplemented with vitamins, and it is important to maintain a regular schedule and avoid alcohol consumption.
To enhance physical fitness, pay more attention to outdoor activities and physical exercise, and avoid picky eating. It is also important to drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables regularly.
