A friend of mine had knee replacement surgery a week before Christmas and he now gets severe swelling of his foot. The doctor does 'not believe' in pressure stockings after surgery, so he did not have one after surgery. Could this be the problem? What could be the cause of his swelling and what can he do about it?
