A member asked:

Had lateral release on my knee 8m ago. still swollen alot, still can't do a layup bc it's not strong enough & it's still painful to run. common?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call your Surgeon: Mild Swelling and mild pain is not uncommon after lateral release. If you are still having this much trouble still after 8 months I would go back and see your surgeon again.
