Asked By:nicolboiseau

Yesterday I sat at the table preparing dinner kinda tilted back with my legs up. since then I feel like my thigh Is a bit more swollen near incision particularly on the right side and feels a little more tender then left. I still have my drains & stitches. I had my 10 day follow up appt all looked good. I was putting to much fluid out to remove drains and to swollen to take stitches out. I go back Thursday morning. Sitting could I have done something or just irritated it???
