A member asked:
Had lateral release 2 weeks ago, knee still swollen painful & feels weak & unstable will this improve what if it stays unstable what will they do?

Ask your surgeon: Best one to really answer the questions is the one who fixed the knee. You could have an infection, or be bearing too much weight on it or be too active too soon which could explain the problems. This does need evaluating. If the knee is truly not stable, further repair will be needed to correct this problem
