Knee replacement Swelling

4 days post-op - been doing walking, exercises 2x/day, using ice machine a lot, keeping leg up or straight most of time, but now have red, angry looking, black/blue, somewhat warmer to touch coloring on upper leg and knee.  Only pain is from the swelling when I put leg down to stand up.  Is this normal?  How long for leg to be less swollen?
