Question 5

knee scope surgery 2 weeks ago  my foot is still swollen.  is this normal ? how long does the foot swelling last for? i ice it &take ibpfn  thanks

Accepted Answer

Could be normal : Because the foot is the lowest part of your body, swelling may persist for weeks after surgery. However, there are a couple of things to be wary of: if there is skin redness, warmth, or tenderness in the area, i would be concerned about infection or a blood clot or both. Elevate the foot as much as you can, especially when you at upright. And make sure you let your surgeon know about the swelling.

Question 6
