Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

You have not mentioned why arthroscopy was done for your knee (there is no mention about diagnosis). Arthroscopy of knee is indicated for many conditions affecting the knee joint.

Generally, a post operative rehabilitation program is needed to achieve a good result after arthroscopy of the knee joint.

An MRI scan of the knee joint is needed to know the exact pathology inside.

I suggest you to consult your treating doctor and discuss the issues.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
