Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling fin the wrist following surgery can be secondary to post surgical inflammation. Nothing to be panic, you can take an anti inflammatory drug like serratiopeptidase. If the swelling does not subside in a week, consult your surgeon and get it evaluated.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
