Problem description: Hello, Dr. Li, my mother is 95 years old. She broke her femoral head and neck by a fall two days ago, and then underwent minimally invasive surgery on the femoral head at our place. I feel that the effect is quite good afterwards. It has been ten days now, and I can walk on the ground with things, but I found that my legs and feet were very swollen in the last two days. I don’t know why?

Question analysis: Hello, according to your description, if it’s only more than ten days after the operation, you can’t do activities in this situation.
Guidelines: Then the lower extremity edema is very serious. It may be caused by the poor blood condition of the elderly. Generally speaking, suitable massage can be considered in this situation. Local hot compresses will raise the lower limbs and promote blood return.
Suggestions are for reference only, and the problem is serious. Please go to the hospital for detailed examination
