Leg Swelling

Asked for Female, 72 years

I want to ask about my mother, age 68, she had hip bone replacement surgery 8months ago. She fell off the stairs and had a fracture. My question is from a few days whenever she stands or walks little longer her leg gets swelled. What could be the reason? And the solution to this problem. Thanks in advance

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. How much is the swelling? Does it occur every time she moves more than usual? Is it red or warm in that areatoo? Apply ice to that area for 10-20mins and then massage with a good analgesic balm like voltral. If the swelling is a lot or it's red or painful when you must inform her orthopedic.
