I would mention it. For me, my legs swell after the surgery. They took out lymphnoids, more on the left then on the right so my left swells more.
At first, testing was done to rule out a DVT or blood clot of any kind. That is why you would want to mention it, if it might be a blood clot. Your doctor will be able to listen to your symptoms and make an informed decision. i am not a doctor or anything. Good luck, my prayers are with you.
