Hi there. This needs immediate investigation to rule out a deep venous thrombosis or a clot in the deep veins of leg following the abdominal surgery. Usually the symptoms are swelling in one or both legs, pain or tenderness in legs, warmth in skin, red discoloration of skin, and could lead to fatal consequences like pulmonary embolism causing sharp chest pain or coughing. You need to get a duplex ultrasound and venography to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. Consult a surgeon immediately. Hope this helps. Take care.
