Posted , 5 users are following.
wow...I thought I was getting along so well...all of a sudden I find that whereas three days ago, I was buzzing around free of pain with one crutch...I am now suffering bad pain right in the new hip and down my leg. Cannot get shoes on my feet as feet are so swollen. If anyone has encountered this..please let me know..I am frightened...Molly from Cnada

sounds like you have done too much too soon.
we have to push ourselves but not too much.
try sleeping with. Pillow under your feet , it may help with swelling.
Are you having a lay down In day ? That certainly helps.
18 days is still early so take your time . You are going to have some pain you have been through major surgery .
obviously if you are still worried see a dr but what you are going through seems the same as others on here .
so listen to your body , do your exercises and rest .
Good luck
