Knee: continue physiotherapy. It can take time to get movement back. make sure there are no signs of infection. If not improving in another 3-4 weeks inspire of the physiotherapy , see your specialist

Not uncommon: Make sure your complete your physical therapy program. It is not uncommon to loose some flexibility after arthroscopy.
