A member asked:
My daughter had surgery to repair a torn acl and meniscus last thursday. the swelling in her foot has progressively gotten worse with pain. what to do
A doctor has provided 1 answer
She needs to be seen: The symptoms you have described suggest a possible infection that may be developing- increased swelling and increasing pain suggests that you should call her doctor and have her seen as soon as possible. Using Advil and Tylenol (acetaminophen) will only mask the symptoms and delay diagnosis.
