Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I've been reading a lot of the previous messages others have posted and I have been learning a lot and has given me hope. I just went through surgery 2weeks ago and I am getting anxious for the swelling to go down. What realistic time-frame should I expect for the swelling to go down? Any insight would be helpful.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Well I would say at 4 to 5 weeks mine went down almost completely but at 2 1/2 months post op, I still have some swelling. Not enought that you could tell, but I can tell. It is worse in the early am and the late pm. I am a bit anxious for it to go away completely but I have heard that it can take up to a year. > I've been reading a lot of the previous messages others have posted > and I have been learning a lot and has given me hope.
