I've had acl surgery couple years back, i'm now getting a lot of swelling, without twisting or damaging it in anyway, it is just constantly swollen ?

See details: Then see an orthopedist and have the knee reevaluated. There are several possible causes for knee swelling and the swelling may not be related to the prior surgery.
