    First of all why are u nor seeing your doctor 2 weeks from surgery? Not good. I would go to your doctor asap. There's swelling but not like that.

      Ohhhhh ok. Makes sense now. I would go back to your doctor. I had surgery in July and no swelling at all now.

    Hi Lori

    Sorry to hear about your problem. I think you should see your consultant ASAP. Have a word with your GP. In my experience with the NHS, I had to be firm with the people that deals with appointments at the NHS, In order to get things sorted properly. Keep an eye.

    I think ice and elevation is good. I also have problems with my feet: tarsal tunnel syndrome. Dealing with it for 2 years. Ice and elevation also helped me. Reading about my problem online also helped.

    Keep strong and look after yourself.

    All the best
