I am home with my new hip and wondering when the swelling usually goes down. My surgeon said my swelling was not bad at all compared to most of his patients, so I wonder what length of time it takes generally for the swelling to subside. I gained 10 pounds!
I have been reading some of the posts and they are very helpful. I am a 68 year old female who came home on Thursday after surgery Monday. I am walking with a walker, taking tylenol for pain, sleeping pretty well, but I don't have much appetite.
I read a few complaints about constipation but did not see any posts recommending senokot which works wonders.
