Hi,

By the period of 11 weeks, there must be precise healing of the operative part of knee post meniscus tear. There can be possible ligament sprain or others which can pause a sudden swelling around your knee with dull ache.

My guidelines at present:
- Keep the affected leg elevated over a height of 3 pillows
- Local application of ice 5 minutes each 4 times a day
- Intake of ibuprofen with antacid after meals

Consult your doctor as per your recovery and requirement.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
