Posted on Fri, 22 Jul 2016

Question: I have had swelling from my mid calf down to my ankle and feet since my THR. It is uncomfortable and finding shoes is nearly impossible. Also, sometime I have pain from the back of my heel up to my mid calf.

Brief Answer:
It can be due to deep venous thrombosis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. Swelling and edema in the feet is due to either deep venous thrombosis or high blood pressure. Before I advised you anything I would like to know little detail of the illness.
1.Do you have pain in calf on squeezing?
2.Do you have high BP or any heart problems ?
Please send me answers of these questions.I will try my best to help you.
Thanks
