I just had umbilical hernia repair surgery on Wednesday and today I noticed a pain in my left calf muscle. The pain comes and goes, is sharp but mild, and is localized to one small area in the back of my calf. I am currently taking Tylenol and 5mg Percocet, and I am 37 years old. Should I be concerned about this pain, and what steps should I take to address it?

I have been experiencing pain when swallowing for several months, which I initially dismissed as not serious. Given my history of bulimia and concerns about Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer, I am worried about the potential risks and whether my symptoms could indicate a serious condition. Additionally, I have been experiencing other symptoms such as gurgling noises in my stomach and chest, excessive flatulence, difficulty burping, a feeling of something stuck in my chest, and occasional heartburn despite being on omeprazole and gaviscon. Could these symptoms be related to GERD or anxiety, and what should I do next?
