Welcome @gh120, Sorry to hear you are having bad pain and swelling after your knee replacement. You mention the knee swells up everyday. I was told I wasn't icing and elevating my leg enough during my recovery. When I had my follow up with the surgeon, he made it clear that when I wasn't doing anything - exercises, walking, etc., I should have my leg elevated along with frequent icing.

Have you talked with your surgeon or care team about the pain and swelling?
