Suggest Remedy For Swelling And Pain In Knee

I had recently partial knee surgery done on my left knee. I am going thru regular therapy but still have some swelling and pain. This is now 2 months since I had the surgery. When getting up my leg gets stiff. Is this normal. Is going in hot tub going to hurt. I had interior compartment replaced. I was told I should have been doing good in 6 to8 weeks. Any advice/comments.

hi,

as you mentioned a brief history, you should now focus on doing a good physical therapy. Until the knee is certified as fit by the physcial therapist. Most of the time this are symptoms which arise after knee surgery. Getting a basic knee rehabilitation will take upto 6-8 weeks and for more accurate results upto 12 weeks is recommended.
