Question
Thanks for that incredibly fast and reassuring answer. One other thing that your answer brings to mind is the teaspoon or so of blood from the puncture site on the sheets after the anaesthetic i guess that would be consistent with a large haematoma?
It would be consistent. Remember what I said about the ligaments being tight - that means the haematoma might not be very 'large' but will still be very uncomfortable.
I hope it improves over the next 2 weeks - remember exercise is key.
