I agree, besides swelling can add to that scale number, but if you're that swollen I would get to the doc asap as well.
Remember your weight fluctuates and if something is going on, i mean you said you are swollen after a 5K run, then that is going to show up in the numbers. My point is don't jump to conclusions, wait and see. You could be retaining water, not to mention the swelling, that pretty much can equal 7-10 pounds right there.
Still, if your swelling doesn't go down, you might want to go get checked out. Just to make sure you're okay.
