Hello, I have studied your case. I think that you might be having infection in the previous surgery. It can cause such swelling and discomfort. I would recommend you to do following.1. Meet your doctor who has operated. He may ask you do some blood work. If there is elevated ESR, CRP than you need to take antibiotics for it.2. Sometimes there is development of RSD. In this condition there is swelling with stiffness and difficulty in movement. If that is the case than you need to take physiotherapy and wax bath. I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
