A member asked:
I am about 7.5 weeks post acl and meniscus surgery on my right knee and i've been walking w/out brace for 1 week but swelling, should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Some swelling after a major knee surgery is not uncommon for a few months. Pl continue with OT/PT and keep walking to enhance your rehabilitation. Feel better
