8 weeks post op - bruising

Posted , 2 users are following.

I'm eight weeks post op and mostly all is well. I have a slight limp, but I'm having regular physio, and going to hydrotherapy and physio rehab classes. The only issue is that in the last two weeks or so more bruising has appeared around the wound site and hip. I thought this would have settled by now. Does anyone else have a similar issue?

    I and many of us had that.

    The bruising generally goes away in time, maybe months, the surgery cut they make is quite deep and so the blood can take a while to clear.
