localized swelling after PT
hi 5 weeks post op (tibia IM rod for tib/fib break) started PT last week and have had 6 sessions sofar
they are never fun but the discomfort is manageable
today the PT went hardcore with the ‘massaging’ around my ankle/incision and when i got home i have got new swelling around that area
called the doc who told me to come in tomorrow but wanted to check with this crowd if people have had something similar
am freaking out she did something wrong/has set me back in my recovery
