Hello, I think this may be a deep vein thrombosis which is not rare complication after knee replacement even though you may have taken anticoagulant therapy after the surgery. If you have swelling of the leg and redness and local temperature and pain in all leg it is a sign of DVT. Bloods tests and Doppler ultrasound examination will confirm this diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
