I had a decent portion of my lateral meniscus removed about 9 months ago. since then my knee has stayed swollen and painful. there anything i can do?

Exercise : You need to faithfully perform your quadriceps exercises. The persistent pain needs to be addressed to your surgeon, including the aspects of the Cartlidge removal and your risk of future osteoarthritis of the knee. Please discuss this with your surgeon and if you haven't seen physical therapy you may need to
