Leg swelling.

Best go see the Doc. You never know it could be something fixed easily, but could turn into something serious. Let us know how it goes. I hate going to the Doc too, but it's not worth dying over
 
I'm 51 years old and had a knee replacement 2 years ago. About 2 months ago my left leg-the one with the replacement started to swell. Nothing too bad and swelling would go away overnight. Now recently it has swelled to the point I can't get my boot on and my pant leg is tight. Anyone have this problem post replacement surgery?

A possible deep vein thrombosis (DVT). You also appear to have corona phlebectatica, which is indicative of vascular disease. You need to visit a vascular specialist to have a venous ultrasound performed. The ultrasound is uncomplicated and should reveal a lot about your pathology.

Go see a doctor brother.
 
Could be a clot. You need to get to the emergency room ASAP.
Possibly a clot but he would have mentioned shooting pain when getting up on his feet. I'm also pretty sure the covid is causing clots but it's micro lots. People, you really need to pay attention if you notice anything going on unusual in your legs. That's one of your first warning signs you could have it.
