Surgery 5/6,now 5 weeks post op. I have had both breast open at the T incision. My entire body is swollen & there are times my legs & feet are so bad I can't get my feet in slip on shoes. I have been in constant contact with my PS, primary, cardiologist (i take BP meds), and wound specialist. I have been on antibiotics this entire post op time. No one can explain this post op swelling and PS stated he has never seen it like this for this long. He gave me px for water pill yesterday. Any ideas?
