A member asked:

Could a total hip replacement cause both of my feet/ankles to swell and become red everyday? i also have ckd so i am concerned.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Timing: If you have had this operation within the past 6 weeks it so, call your orthopedic surgeon, and ask whether or not it is appropriate to check for a blood clot in your leg. If this operation was more than 6 weeks or so ago, call your primary care doctor for a proper evaluation. Hope this helps!
