Swelling In Feet And Ankles. History Of Knee Surgery, Injection On Live Stem Cell In Both Knees. Reaction To Injection?

I have a question I have knee surgery a week and a half ago and after this length of time my ankles and feet are swelling. I have kept them up all night long and kept an ice machine on my knee and when I get up in the morning my feet are really swelled. I also had a injection of Live stem cell into both knee. I have already had the left knee don't 6 months ago and now I have had the right one done but with the left one I had no swelling but this time I swelling up like a ballon. The right foot is really bad and the left one isn't much better. Could it be an reaction from the injection or something else going on??

Hi, it appears that there is some thing wrong in the apposition of the bone fragments, or it may be due to the pain killers you are using for pain relief, or due to the immobilization of the toes . there may be recent hypertension.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have thorough checkup. Thank you.
