Hi @lucas1954 and welcome to Connect. You may have noticed I moved your post to this discussion on pain after hip replacement so that you can connect with others who have similar experiences. That swelling sounds awful and frustrating.

I wanted to introduce you to @debbraw @lindyloo8 @katrine and @teemarie as they may be able to support you through this.

Back to you @lucas1954 did your surgeon give you any more information on what that means and how to treat it if it continues to swell?

Thanks Ethan.. Compression wrap or shorts were recommended to speed up the absorption of the hematoma. I failed to ask how long this should take. He was supremely confident this would resolve itself eventually. If this swelling is still bothersome come my 4 week visit to the surgeon this Thursday, I will push for a better answer.
