leg pain, and blood clot in leg after RC

It is very possible that the pain has been caused by the blood clot - unfortunately they are one of the risk factors for practically any major surgery.It is very difficult to locate the cause of pain when someone is recovering from surgery, but I am suprised it was not picked up on blood tests - I can·t remember what it is that shows up on blood analysis, but I know when a clot is suspected or is a potential scource of pain after surgery, a simple analysis shows that there is a clot somewhere in the body, although maybe there are confusing results when so many bits and pieces are healing. I hope his team get the clot sorted out, and that he starts to get more mobile.
