What Causes Swelling Of Feet,ankle And Lower Leg With Arthritic Knees?

My feet and ankles and even the lower leg are very swollen and it does not go down overnight. Also on the top of my feet there is a redness which looks like blood might be pooling. I even had that redness on my legs. I have arthritic knees so my movement is limited. Can you help?
