Knee Swell & Pain: Did your medical provider review your x-ray and MRI knee images with you? Because of the diagnosis of severe arthritis, did they feel that surgery was your only option? Getting a 2nd opinion would be in order if surgery was noted to be the only option. Exhaust conservative measure first like topical gels (diclofenac); patches (lidocaine; diclofenac); oral non -narcotics, acupuncture, PT, etc.
