Hey Friend =) You are very encouraging. Trust me!!! Sometimes, I am finding out, we need to have our own off days as well.

As for the swelling, and the one leg being worse than the other. Are you getting around? Walking? Are they red, painful?

My first concern would be blood clots due to the surgery. PLEASE make sure this is not the case, cause it can be very serious if it is. DO not rub or massage your legs until you know for sure that it is not blood clots!

Otherwise, do you swell a lot? Are you taking in a lot of salt? More so than normal? I am not sure about the MS relationship... but keep them elevated, get some TED hose, drink lots of water.
