Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in your joints along with swelling might not be due to the surgery. It is more likely to be a joint problem like rheumatoid arthritis which needs to be investigated.
Till then take a mild pain killer and do hot fomentation for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
