What Causes Swelling In The Legs After A Total Hip Replacement?
I am 21 days out from a total left hip replacement. I am making good progress going to PT wearing Compression stockings during the day off at bedtime. However My left leg swells and especially my ankle and foot feels very tight. At post op visit (14 days out) I spoke to the PA about this she Said it was ok. It s a week later and the swelling is the same if not a little tighter. Is this normal what should I do?
