Re: OT: Urgent: Need post-op help

[Guest guest]

Thanks to everyone for your input and suggestions. Talked to my

husbands doc this morning and was told the swelling is most likely

due to blood accumulated inside the joint from post op bleeding.

Blood ouside the vessels can be extremely irritating to the tissues

in some people and some have more post-op bleeding than others. The

swelling and pain will not dissipate until the blood is reabsorbed.

At least we have an explanation for what's going on at this point.

Thanks so much for your responses.
