Following. I am 2 weeks, 3 days in..I was given some exercises to do. Doing them even though it's swollen, after I take my meds.. hoping it's going to go down and help.

I had more major surgery over 3 weeks ago and still super swollen. My doc said on Friday during my appt it would be 3-6 months of swelling.

I'm almost 12 weeks and my big tor is still very stiff. It will not bend very far. The pain is better...and it gets better every day.
