A member asked:
Is it normal, four weeks, after having hip surgery, that the upper part of your leg, where the incision is, is still swollen and slightly burns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I assume you had a hip replacement. Some swelling can last weeks. However,if you have discomfort or tenderness,I recommend an examination by your orthopedic surgeon.
