I had a laminectomy on Wed and my first words were "what did you do to my feet?" they tingled and hurt so much. boots were put on my feet to prevent blood clots. At this time there was no swelling. I came home friday and saturday and every day since (today has been a week since surgery) I have swollen toes, ankles and tops of feet. Painful to manage lotion into bottoms of feet to relieve pain, I only have one kidney due to blund trama years ago. Am I waiting for thee blood clot to kill me? what is up? I am drinking fluid and going to the restroom. I am on bed rest for anouther week but keep my feet moving trying to prevent the pain and cloting.
