Hmm, are you still icing regularly? It is a really good strategy at the end of your day to elevate and ice to alleviate the stress of getting around all day. When I had one of my hip replacements, and ongoing swelling, I also got my leg up and iced at lunch time (kept a big ice pack in the office freezer.) That continued for over 4 months.

Hi sue yes I have a cryotherapy machine that I have on overnight and during night I move it around to get different areas ….. I do my exercises every 3 hours so I ice for at least half hour after each session
