Hi Berty, I second Val's advice - rest, ice and elevate. Can you think of any activity you did yesterday that might have set it off?
SpeedyI have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.0 -
we did bug all yesterday it was just too hot have got it elevated now very strange :?I know i am a lady ,all life is a journey xx MAY xx0

Hi Berty,
I third the ice and elevation idea. I wonder if its because its having to do more with the operated leg not being up to total parr? Talk to your gp tomorrow and elevate it above the height of your hip. I so hope it soon goes down but please talk to your gp tomorrow. ((( ))) and love Cris xx0 -
Hi Berty
Just sending you some hugs (((((())))) if it dosnt go down with the ice, go and see your gp .

Hi Berty
Is it itchy or is it discoloured (ie purple)?
Could it be a bite?

Hi Bertyboy
I agree with Val. Ice and elevate it. It might be this very hot weather causing it. If it does not go down can you elelvate it on a pillow, this drains the fluid from the legs.
I hope this helps you.

Hi Berty
I, like Cris, wondered if it is because the other leg is having to work harder at the moment.
Take care

Hi bertyboy
Sorry to hear about your swollen ankle. do you take bp tablets? My GP put me on some new ones which have made my ankles swell and i get very hot and flushed with them. Just a thought.
Ice and elevation is a good idea.

hi all its still puffed , dont have bp tabs so its not that , probably is that it is taking the strain :roll:I know i am a lady ,all life is a journey xx MAY xx0

Hi Berty.
I do hope it goes down after a good nights rest. Sometimes I think the hot weather can have an effect on our joints.
Anyway, wishing you a better day tomorrow.

Hi Berty
I am sorry to hear that - it does happen sometimes. You will get there, but it may just take a little longer.
Chin up,
Luv
