When Should I Worry About Post-Surgery Swelling?

I’m experiencing swelling around the surgical site longer than expected. When should swelling be a concern, and what can I do to reduce it?

Re: When Should I Worry About Post-Surgery Swelling?

Post-surgery swelling is normal, physical therapy Long Beach but it’s important to monitor it. If swelling worsens, persists beyond a few weeks, or is accompanied by redness, warmth, severe pain, or fever, it could indicate infection or a blood clot. Contact your doctor immediately for evaluation. Rest, elevate the affected area, and follow post-operative care instructions to manage routine swelling effectively.
