keep doing R.I.C.E rest, ice, compression, and elavation as much as possible!
if your in pain though, go get your knee checked out again, surgery is supposed to make you feel better, not worse.

∙ 11y agoSurgery puts the body under strain.
There is ligaments and tissue that possibly have been cut/torn or both for then to be stitched together again. Something is maybe removed.
The body reacts by doing its best to repair the damages, all the doctors/surgeons can do is to put the different parts together as to their best abilities.
The actual process of healing up afterwards is for the body to do.
It will swell up because of increased activity by white blood-cells eating up damaged tissue and alien elements and is quite normal.
The white blood-cells also work overtime trying to counteract any type of infection in the "wound".
If you have got implanted an alien element in your knee, then there are a chance that you might be allergic to this and the body will try to attack it. This also leads to swelling up.
It might be advisable to move your knee/leg a bit, this to help increasing the flow of blood. Do not strain your knee, and do not do this if you have been told otherwise by doctor/surgeon.
You should contact your doctor regarding the swelling up. It might be an infection that will clear up faster with some antibiotics.
Your doctor might also be able to give you a time span based on previous similar operations (statistics) as to when you can count on the swelling to go down.
Swelling should not be a concerned as long as you are able to do other activities following your knee replacement surgery.

Speaking from experience, you will feel intense pain around your knee at the time of incident. This will be followed by swelling. If it feels like your knee is unstable after the swelling (the swelling was supporting the joint), then you probably have a complete or near complete tear of a ligament.
