Where’s the swelling? Her foot? Leg below the brace and foot? Email me at
jkay@arlingtonortho.com as it will be easier to communicate that with VN posts…
If the swelling doesn’t decrease with elevation of her leg, either the brace/wrap is too tight or a scarier possibility is that she is developing a DVT. If the swelling doesn’t significantly decrease with lying down and keeping her leg elevated overnight, then she needs to be checked for a DVT right away.
Elevation needs to be leg higher than heart…
