Hello, Anon. Thank you for posting.

An evaluation by a doctor is needed as we cannot know the specifics of your health and what caused the wounds. Are the wounds fully healed? If not, this could be the cause of the swelling. Are you on your feet for long periods? Sometimes, once an area of the body has been injured it's less tolerant of extremes than before (prolonged sitting or standing, repetitive movements, etc). An underlying health condition is also a possibility. It's important to see your doctor if the swelling persists.
