Was told to do it for the 1st 6 weeks, and then only after I went back on 2 occasions with complaints of pain, tight band feeling, and swelling. Told to elevate 3 days and ice

@melboy68, Icing and elevating made a really big difference for me. I was riding my exercise bike a lot and only icing and elevating maybe 2 or 3 times during the day for 20 minutes. My surgeon basically told me if you have pain and/or swelling you need to ice and elevating every chance you get especially if you are just sitting around like I was at the computer during the day.
