tiki Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Call your doctor/doctor's nurse. Some post-operative swelling could be normal, but don't chance it. When is your post-op visit? And don't be embarassed, you just had surgery! Link to post Share on other sites
Matilda Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 You need to call your doctor's office, let them know you have swelling. Ask if the amount of swelling you have is normal after the type of operation you have had. Then if they say the swelling is normal, then ask them what they recommend to help reduce the swelling. Do not accept advice from anyone over the internet about this problem. The ONLY people you should accept advice from about this is the surgeon's office who did the surgery.
