Hello,
Well, your case looks a bit complicated because I would like more information. But anyway the swelling of the arm in your condition, it is not a good sign. It maybe isn't working well the graft, and it leads in swelling or maybe any infection (but in this case the arm would be warm, red and painful). I would recommend seeing your doctor as soon as you can.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
