Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms seem to be related to chronic venous insufficiency.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels, in order to examine them.

Surgery may be needed again, especially if the swelling is associated to pain in this leg.
