ACL RECON and MEDIAL MENISECTOMY
Hi. I underwent a surgery on 21st Nov 2022 and now I am able to walk slowly and comfortably. But my only concern is the stiffness underneath the patella, which is still there and all other stiffness has gone by icing.
Can you pls tell me whether this swelling will be over or I have to live with it.
Thank you
