Have you been laid up, or able to move around? have also just had an op. and am finding my legs get very achy if I lie down for too long.

Also achy legs/back might possibly connected to a urine infection?, - probably worth giving your surgery a ring and having chat with the GP.

Ye I have been sat about,your probs right il give doctors a ring,could defo be an infection due to the kind of surgery it is.

Always get paranoid about legs lol with risk of dvt but have worn my stockings etc

Thanks
