I am five weeks post op and have pain in the side of my leg by the incision. deep pain not incision pain-
Does this subside?

Tell us a little more. Are you very swollen? In the incision healed over? Have you thought about it being infection?

Could it be nerve pain? Is it that kind of sensitive? I had nerve pain on one side for awhile, not so much pain as a numbness/sensitivity. It was much reduced when the swelling subsided and finally went away completely, but that took awhile.

Not very swollen incision is still braided but healing - no scab any more do not infected at all- it is sore inside

Can you describe the pain?  Sharp?  Achey?  Dull Achey?  Is it constant or only in certain positions or with certain movements?  Do you know which surgical approach your doctor used- different surgeries effect different muscles/tissues.  Are you/ can you take pain medications and do they help?  Are you doing any PT- what effect does it have? Is there anything you do that relieves it?  More information might help find others with similar experiences.
