the pain in pubic area- is called a pelvic hematoma (a collection of blood that acuumulated on the day of surgery when a bleeder was cut and the surgeon stopped it ) can last 2-3 weeks
much less painful when i was informed on what it was


thights swelling could be sign of blood clot...pain in calf and swelling in thighs

my swelling was not clot it was due to body retaining water and will fix it self...i had to keep legs above my head....lay of sofa feet raused..it worked

just thought i would share the little stuff which could drive one crazy

i liek the beets for inflammation..thanks for sharing that
