Had scar tissue removed from my knee 4 weeks ago. knee keeps swelling up, is this normal?

"Reactive swelling": Are you walking around without a cane ????? Are you following your Orthopedist;s instructions? The swelling is normal after any arthroscopy! Usually a cane is recommended for a while!! Check with your surgeon!
