Achilles tendon repair surgery

2018-04-15 16:32:33
I have undergone Achilles tendon repair surgery 6 weeks before. Last week the cast were removed. As my ankle is stiff, the doctor has advised some ankle motion exercise. But I have observed some swelling in my foot. Is this normal ? What needs to be done to reduce swelling.
