Had tummy tuck/ breast augmentation 9 days ago I still super swollen and sore hurts to walk. What can I do for the swelling? My doctor keeps saying I will pee the swelling out soon but still nothing. I'm walking as directed, have my feet propped when not. I'm taking Tylenol, hydrocodone, and muscle relaxer. I've putting the arnica cream on as well.
