I had a swollen leg bad I had a infection , they supplied special dressings with a small pump attached the district nurse came I could only wear baggy yoga leggings or shorts.
The district nurse was calling after they said it was clear the back of my knee seeped fluid for at least 6 months after I could not keep a pair of any trousers on for more than2 hours without changing them
So never hardly left home for 6 months it should clear mine did but if in doubt see the dr

I had my hip replacement over two years ago. It still hurts all the way down my leg. It’s still dented. I’ve tried everything from massage to exercise to no avail. My right hip and down my leg is a lot bigger than my other side. It’s embarrassing when I wear clothes , you can tell.
