knee replacement?my grandma had a knee replacement 2 months ago. her feet swell up a lot. what should she use? a hot pack or a cold? and is there anything else?

Ice packs. Tell her to take ibuprofen as well (as long as it does not have any contraindications with her other meds). Ice will reduce the swelling and ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory. I have have five knee surgeries...I speak from experience!

I would suggest have to elevate her foot. Also cold packs and ibuprofine. Also call her doctor this is probably usually what happens but call her doctor. Is she diabetic? Watch her sodium intake and drink tons of water.

plreae consult with the doctor on this. this board is nice to talk to people but your issue is very serious and requires an expert medical answer.
