If there is no infection or stitch abscess you need not worry too much. Yes some patients after arthroscopy take long time for the fluid to resorb. If fresh effusion or swelling which is not leaking around the knee and you can put weight and bend the knee to some extent usually there is no infection. However if you feel unwell,feverish get the knee fluid aspirated and sending it for infection testing will tell you what is going on by your doctor.get also your bloods tested for infective parameters from your doctor
