What Causes Swelling On The Right Leg After An ACL Repair Surgery?

I just had ACL repair surgery on my left knee with normal recovery symptoms. 2 days after surgery my right leg begins to swell up and my foot is swollen to deformity. It s not from favoring and ice, elevation or moving the leg around for circulation won t help. Swelling is from calf down with pain in the upper right thigh.

Hello,

Consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. An ultrasound scan is required to rule out collie cellulitis bleeding.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
