Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
dear sir / madam

since it is 3 months post op in a knee immobilizer , it is recomended to start doing knee range of motion exercises, static quadriceps exercises,
initially while doing physiotherapy it will be painful for a week or 10 days.
but still it is recommended to do physiotherapy as tolerated to gain your full function.

it is not to be worried , and active rom exercises have to be done rigorously.

you should do active knee rom exercises, and static quadriceps exercises.
