When to get help

Call 999 or 112, or go to the Emergency Department now if you have chest pain or sudden shortness of breath.

Contact your surgeon, GP or physio today if you have:

• Calf pain, tenderness, heat or swelling in the lower leg
• A temperature over 38°C, or chills
• Wound redness that is spreading, discharge, or the wound opening
• A sudden increase in pain or swelling that doesn't settle with rest, ice and elevation
• A sudden loss of bend or straightening, or the knee giving way

Stop exercising until you have been checked. This programme does not replace advice from your surgeon or physio.
