Hello

The best person to give you an adequate advice on what is going on is your surgeon. In our practice we tell our patients that it takes 6-9 months for you to feel completely normal after a surgery like that.

Symptoms after 6 weeks.

The only way we can help is to suggest that you cal your surgeon and be seen for evaluation. There are many symptoms that occur after this type of surgery, and they vary from patient to patient. If there is swelling, there is the possibility of a fluid collection that would need to be drained. Only your surgeon can figure this out. Call. Best wishes.
