If You have swelling in your foot and calf 3 days after knee surgery for a torn meniscus is this normal?

Swelling in the foot and calf after knee surgery can be common due to inflammation and fluid accumulation, especially in the first few days post-operation. However, significant swelling, especially if accompanied by pain, redness, or warmth, could indicate complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It’s essential to monitor your symptoms and consult your surgeon or healthcare provider for an evaluation to ensure proper recovery.
