@Aless1 I had both hips replaced...the left in 2008 and the right in 2017. I never had unusual swelling after the surgery.

My left hip was done with the posterior method and the right hip was done with the anterior method.

What does your surgeon say about the swelling in the area?

@Aless1 You have been through a lot with another surgery to come. I think you are wise to make an earlier appointment.

Wishing you a complete and speedy recovery.

@Aless1

If you don't feel well today Sunday you may want to go into urgent care.

You've listed three very serious medical issues with the sepsis, kidney stones and swelling resulting from a surgery.

I wouldn't wait for just phoning on Monday. This sounds more urgent.
