Hello dear Thanks for reaching out. First of all the swelling that you have described is not related to your surgery. I hope your knee is doing well post surgery. Now why the swelling? It's a dependent swelling that is most probably due to weakness of veins at your age. Just a quick answer could be suggestive of the same: Do you see dilated blue veins over your leg and is there any black pigmentation around your ankle or foot? Other causes could be a liver, kidney or heart issue which at your age are unlikely given your clear medical history. Regards Dr Vipin Gupta

There are various reasons for feet swelling/edema. Are you having any other issues or any known illness.. Sometimes it may be postural due to continuous sitting posture with feet down. But still need to rule out any other pathology

Next Steps

You should get your BP and sugar levels checked. Also get some blood investigations like S. creatinine, Urine routine microscopy, SGPT, FBS. You can keep the limb elevated over pillow while taking rest. Also start with hot fomentation in salt water, Ankle movement exercises.
