Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi
I hope you are on right track of treatement.
Dont worry about swelling it will persist till 3 to 6 months. Just apply ice over swelling, which will help reduce swelling and pain.
Now you have to concentrate on exercise which will be painful for a week but concentrate on it for better movement of your knee. I think you need not to worry.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
