I had a lateral release july 25th. now the outside of my knee is swollen and hard. is this normal? what would cause it?

Get it looked at!: It is not normal for it to be hard (maybe a little swollen). This could be an infection. You should get it looked at as soon as possible- especially if you have a fever or chills.
