If the wound is-: -well healed, and this is new swelling, not left over from the surgery, it could B sign of infection, especially if U have pain @rest &have a fever, even if low grade. This needs immediate eval by Ur surgeon.

MRI shows I tore ACL, lateral meniscus root, MCL, and small impaction fracture of lateral tibial plateau. Won't see a surgeon for another week. Is it safe to walk around with a brace with no crutches or will it make my knee worse?
