Thank you for the reply. I'm keeping ice pack on it whenever I'm sitting our lying down.
Did you use any compression socks?

Thank you for your comment.
No discharge, fever, no redness. Doesn't hurt.
I thought it could be reaction to the manipulation of my leg during the surgery. I do use ice pack.

No issue with the incision area. Definitely increased throughout the day. I'm using the ice pack and elevating often when I sit. Also, lying down later in afternoon/early afternoon with ice pack.
I'm going to call doctor about a couple of questions so will ask about this, too.

I’m 11 wks post op and still dealing with swelling. Moreso after I do stretching. As long as the incision area isn’t red or hot to the touch. Good luck on your recovery. 😁

We all recover differently plus one hip is different from another. I had the other hip done a year ago same surgeon, same approach and I was back to work in 6 weeks.

Since all new to me, each change can be concern.
