Getting worried

I had my TT on July 7th, 2009 I feel ok; drainers gone; pain under control BUT my legs are very very swollen.  I have been walking around the house; even went for a walk around the block with our dog.  Am I overdoing things? should I call the doctor? I am just worried.....

Hi Celine

I had my procedure on 06/30 and I know if I stay on my feet to long they swell. I try to keep my feet elevated as much as possible and it minimizes the swelling for me. At night I keep my feet elevated with a pillow. I did the same when I had my previous procedures and it helped me then too.

By nature gravity pulls everything down to include fluid to our lower extremeties.

Hope it helps.


Dr Sauceda ROCKS!

I had my TT in late May - in the beginning weeks I had swollen legs - took a couple weeks to go back to normal - sounds like you're good.

But checking with your doctor is NEVER a bad idea.  

Thank you so much for your answers; I was worried I was overdoing things, as I said I feel ok; insicion looks good is just the swollen legs that bother me.  I am going to try to keep them elevated as much as possible.
