Total Knee replacement 9 years ago but recently feels swollen - anyone else had this?

I had my right knee replaced 9 years ago and left 8 years ago.  Everything was great and very positive  and life was good.  However over the past 3 weeks my right knee feels swollen.  It's not hot or painful, but the feeling of being swollen makes it more difficult to walk far which is frustrating.  Anyone else experienced this? I had a virus which made me bedridden for just over a week - could that be relevant? Also have an under-active thyroid and put on more weight which is an on going battle.  Again could this be a factor?

Thanks in anticipation
