Help Support Valve Replacement Forums:
Heart murmur from a very young age and had progressed to needing the mitral valve repaired or replaced. It was repaired. The surgery was in March and it is now August and there is still swelling in my right leg and foot to the point of leaking water in one spot where the skin is thin from a bruise.
