A member asked:
I got a meniscal repair 3 months ago and, although i feel better as the time goes by, i still have pain when bending my knee. is it normal?

Yes: You can have swelling in the knee for 6-9 months after surgery and this will restrict full flexion as well as cause some discomfort in the knee until all the swelling goes away.
