Legs swelling post c section
Hi, I was on strict bed rest with no movements for 2 months during my pregnancy. I had a c section delivery on Aug 14th and my twin babies are safe and healthy. Post c section my legs started swelling. It continued to be there. I also tested for covid positive 10 days back. Is there anything to worry about swelling? I am using compression stockings. There is slight pain in calf muscles.

You should see a gynaecologist and get yourself examined if pain in calf muscles is increasing and swelling is there. Venous doppler of legs should be done. Drink plenty of water (4-5 litres per day) and you should be ambulatory and wear compression stockings.
