Hello,
I’m 11 days post middle fossa surgery. They said to expect swelling but I’m noticing that every night I wake up with more swelling than when I went to sleep. It feels like liquid between my skull and skin and can gently press certain areas and hear the fluid.
Is this actually normal?
Other side effects post surgery:
- 10/10 pain on glutes and bottom of leg to calf. I went in for a blood clot check and came back negative. I can’t sleep no matter what medication I’m given as nothing fixes the pain.
