Twitching of the other leg after surgery may be caused by anesthesia factor, temperature factor, hypocalcemia and other reasons.
1. Anesthesia factor: If the patient has just finished the surgery, the anesthetic in the body may not be fully metabolized, and a small amount of anesthetic causes stimulation to the leg muscles, which may cause twitching of the leg, you can drink more warm water to promote the metabolism of anesthesia in the body, usually when the anesthetic is fully metabolized, the symptoms will gradually disappear.
2. Temperature factor: Because the environment temperature of the operation room is usually low, so due to long-term cold stimulation, patients may have symptoms of convulsions, generally waiting for the body temperature to gradually recover, the symptoms can be relieved by themselves.
3. Hypocalcemia: If it is a fracture surgery, after the surgery, the fracture needs a lot of calcium salts to be deposited in the process of healing, if the calcium is not enough, it may lead to the occurrence of hypocalcemia, which will lead to the symptoms of leg twitching, etc. It is recommended that the patient should eat more calcium-rich food or take calcium supplements orally to replenish the calcium.
If the symptoms cannot be relieved after treatment by the above methods, or if they are accompanied by other obvious discomforts besides twitching, the patient should seek medical treatment promptly.
