Title: swelling at 7+ weeks
Post by: gnoble1960 on February 24, 2012, 01:56:59 PM
Both of my legs have been swelling up over the past couple of days.  No pain, just swelling-- toes to top of thigh.  I was standing last night for 1 1/2 hours in flat shoes but nothing else. Has anyone experienced this at this point after surgery.  I walk lots and try not to sit/stand in one place for too long

I had swelling on my right foot after the right was done for a while, just up to the ankle and maybe a bit above, it pretty much went away after 5 weeks or so.

I noticed it because one of my thoughtful daughters politely noted it out to me by pointing and yelling "KANKLE!!!". I'm so glad I'm putting her through college.

and then you wonder why you worked so hard giving birth to and raising the critters:)  Guess that is why some species eat their young--totally just kidding--don't have me arrested--I have 5 of them
