Mine is similar after surgery 9/21, but...that is with an infection that we

are still fighting, I've been home since two days in the hsopital, but

Hi,

This is my first post here. I just had a total hip replacement just about

a month ago. I still have areas of swelling around the incision. It's

about an inch thick at worst and covers under 10 sq inches. The swelling has

improved since the surgery, but lately, I am not seeing much change. I

know this takes time to improve. I am just curious on how much time and what

others' experiences have been?

Thanks!!
