[|Human|] Had hip replacement year and four months go. Have swelling periodically in my feet md nkles that goes away rather quickly now I have had swelling and be pin in both feet for about week. Swelling comes and goes depending on activity, but pain is always there, right knee has slight swelling and is hard to lift and bend. I have been told to elevate, but just comes back after I return to my activity.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. This swelling might be due to a deep vein thrombosis which is blood clot in the veins of the leg which is a complication that happens not rarely after total hip replacement. I suggest you to do an Ultrasound Doppler of your legs and consult your doctor for treatment with medication if that is the case. Wish you quick recovery
