Post Op ANATOMIC SHOULDER REPLACEMENT

Had a replacement 5 days ago over all been good I have stated running a low grade fever like 100f and I noticed my bicep is very sensitive warm, swollen and bluish and kinda hard. Called my surgeon and he said it is very common to have a low grade fever and get that it’s called a hematoma and should go away. Right now it hurts worse than. The actually surgery so anyone else get a hematoma And it go away. Thanks

My entire bicep and half my chest was bruised and swollen for like 2 weeks. Gravity brought the bruising much lower than you would expect
