KEEP GETTING PAINS DOWN IN RIGHT LEG WHEN LIFT LEG TO GET DRESSED I CAN FEEL SOMETHINK LIKE HEAVY IN MY STOMACH.

They probably left scissors in you,or maybe a scalpel.They may rust after time so you should make sure youve had your tetinus injection just to be sure.
If pain persists,punch your surgeon in the head.
