a little swelling

[beautyls]

I am now 7 weeks post op and this is the first week I went to work full time. I am on my feet for basically the whole time. I noticed my ankles were a little swollen. They were right after surgery and then they went down. Now they are a little puffy again. Has anyone else had this problem?? I am doing real well otherwise Im not short of breath or anything. Thanks Lynette

Hi Lynette

It does take a while for things to return to normal. We all heal at different rates, so it doesn't surprise me that your retaining some fluid. Tell your Doctor about it. He'll most likely start you on a mild diuretic to help get rid of the excess.
