    Could be from retaiing a bit of fluid in your cells.  I swelled terribly after two surgeries, looked like I was 20 months...lol..    I used to retain and hold fluid to with 'the monthly's'....   Note I say used to....  Some folk are just more prone to swelling than others...nothing to worry about

      Tysm looks like going down just slowly lol. I'm urinating great doing kegels which I'd helping control not as bad as when I first got home and it just poured out. A long process to me since I was told was easy, not! , but the only pain I had first 3 weeks was the uti infection omg was trecherous finally gave me antobiotics.

      Glad it's going down. If you don't want to use antibiotics in future (because they mess up your digestive flora) try Grapefruit seed extract, and/or Myrrh.
