Depending on your --: Diagnosis and what else was done. Your surgeon would be the best person to decide and answer your concerns.

Probably: Probably you should have a hinged knee brace (not immobilizer) and a cane (not crutches), and you should be in pt, doing a lot of icing and stretching. Check in with your doc!
