I had knee surgery a month ago and often my foot & ankle swells. Is that common?

Cathy, that is a very common thing. Your body is still healing on the inside - increases in activity can cause increased fluid, and gravity will pull this fluid to your ankle and foot if you are up on your feet a lot. It usually isn't something to be too concerned about, unless it is causing pain or inhibiting your normal activities.
