Swelling
6 Answers
Eight weeks post op and I have developed a VERY swollen foot over the last week. Surgeon saw me last week (less swelling) he told me all was well and to use it and exercise, also massage the scars rigorously - I am but but it's very uncomfortable.
I've had a fair few surgeries on the same ankle/foot so know the drill usually.
This surgery was to bury a nerve to reduce pain and so I've lost a fair amount of feeling in said foot so I am unsure if anything else is happening.
I've tried elevation, hot and cold but nothing is helping. My foot is so swollen today that I could barely get a shoe on.
I am about to return to work and spend all day on my feet. How big is too big? What shall I do if it keeps growing?
Thanks all

Nothing comes to mind Greenfly.
Perhaps a good night's sleep might see your foot return to normal in the morning enabling your shoes to be "fitted" and then see what tomorrow brings.
if your foot is swollen in the morning and you can't get your shoe on, then that solves the problem of work.
Monitor the situation.
