Post op feet swelling???
Anyone have this? My right foot is swollen. The left is slight. Yesterday before I got discharged the nurse said it was normal since I was getting so much fluids. The Ted socks they gave me seemed too big on me so I bought some tighter ones today. My hands were also swollen yesterday and by evening time yesterday the hands were good. Just my feet:(. I have to wear slippers because my shoes don't fit
This seems totally normal post-op, for the exact reason your nurse gave you. Focus on drinking as much as you can and it should pass in a few more days!

Very very normal. It's from the IV fluids. It took the swelling in my hand forever to reduce after surgery, plus it was bruised beyond belief.
Give it a week and I'm sure you'll be back to normal. Good luck!
