I had a complete knee replacement done in March 2008. I am having severe swelling in the knee now. I was told that tubi-grip bandage might help. What else might help the swelling. I have returned to work, I am a rural carrier so I am on my feet and sitting in a vehicle approximately five hours a day.

Tubigrip may help reduce your swelling, though it would also help if you could prop your leg intermittently throughout the day. But if the swelling is severe you should see the surgeon who performed your hip replacement to make sure nothing is wrong with your prosthesis.
