I am 6 weeks post op and have been doing great up until last Saturday. I'm still doing fine, but concerned with swelling that won't see to go down.
I have been religious about my icing, elevating, PT and resting. Last Saturday, we had our big summer party here on the lake with 50 people (mind you, it's totally pot luck and we just supply beautiful weather on the lake).
However, it wasn't until the end of the day that I finally sat down to ice and elevate. Now, it has been swollen ever since. I've laid off on the daily therapy, but went to aqua therapy on Monday where we still took it easy. I have been really veggin' this week. I go to aqua therapy again today and will discuss with my PT, but I'm trying to decide if I should still be doing my daily therapy or if I'm giving myself too much TLC and waiting till the swelling goes down to exercise.
I know it will eventually come down, but am I doing something wrong?
