And, these are my ankles after a day. RIDGES of fluid!
The good news is that my podiatrist, who is also my friend, is going to take control of my pain management and swelling since by surgeons don't even care. Just so annoying.
This is the program she worked out for me tonight:
1 - she is going to have my surgeon prescribe high strength anti-inflamm/pain tablets for 1-2 weeks. This is one tablet a day.
2 - I will also be taking Panadol every day. Up to 8 tablets a day.
3 - compression on as much as I can take.
4 - Stretch exercises 3 times/day to relax the calf muscles
5 - Start seeing the physio to strengthen my knee
6 - Ice whenever it is practical
