    I agree with Renee, that definitely sounds like a situation for a doctor to help you with. And sooner rather than later!

    Hi Lynne

    im now 7+ weeks post op and I have had the same problem. My foot and ankle are swollen and have been all the time but are getting worse. My doctor sent me for blood tests and a ict scan for dvt but theses were clear. 

    I went for my 6 week check and the doctor told me he thinks it's plantar fasciitis and to go to my doctor.
