Is it normal for legs and ankles to swell?

By Arnohose on 23 Nov 2012

I am on day 15 of my full TT, muscle repair and lipo. I had my final ,drain removed on Tuesday. I have quite a bit of swelling ad I wear my compression binder 24/7 as instructed. The only time I take off the binder is to shower. I do notice if I am on my feet too long I really swell. I did notice this morning my ankles kind of have the "cankle look", has anyone else had this issue? This forum has really really helped soi knew what to expect. The smartest thing I did was rent an electric lift chair, I literally live in it. I rented it for 2 weeks then extended it to 3, I am hoping to sleep in my bed next week.
