Question

How can i bring the swelling down in my foot after hip replacement surgery?

Answer 1

Given it’s a hip replacement surgery I will give 2 recommendations. As swelling is usually a large part of the inflammatory response and aids in the bodies repair, this means you can use the RICE method: Rest, Ice, Compression, and elevation. One thing I’d recommend is a compression sock that can keep swelling in check. My second recommendation is to move. Don’t stay stationary until you’ve recovered, they moving around. You do not want blood to be stagnant in you leg, form clots which can break off and cause embolic attacks.
