I had a full tummy tuck with liposuction to my abdomen flanks and inner thighs 6 days ago. My legs are so swollen and my feet are badly swollen too. My left more than my right, (see photo) should I be concerned? I'm taking bromelain tablets 3 times a day. Any other suggestions? When can I expect this to subside? It feels strange when I walk!
Any of you vets out there...did you continue taking Bromelain and Amica throughout the 3-6 month period to combat "swell hell"? My thinking is that it should help then if it helps in the beginning. But, is it safe to take fairly long term? Any comments appreciated. I am having a TT May 26 and I so want to prevent swell hell if possible.
I'm taking oxycodone and another medication for muscle spasms along with antibiotics, Bromelain and Arnica. Not all at once just when I'm supposed to. Is the elevated heart rate just from the medications and surgery or is this a concern?
I am curious if it is safe to take Bromelain (500mg) a few days before abdominoplasty and then after. Some people have posted it is a blood thinner and some say it isn't. Obviously, I don't want to cause trouble during surgery on Friday. Thank you in advance for your advice!
