"Swell Hell" can go on for quite some time but there are some effective treatments and ways to control it.  Be sure and get with your doc on this !

You're only 5 weeks out.  I dealt with swelling for a lot longer.  Just be patient, try to decrease your sodium intake and if you have a compression type garment, you might try wearing it.  And as Dr. L suggests, talk to your doctor and see what he/she would advise.

I'm 6 weeks out today and can only fit into 1 pair of jeans.  The others are all too tight.  I'm living in my terrycloth pants.  I'm still in my compression garments and probably will for the next 6 weeks.
