Heaviness and stiffness in knee

2022-05-09 03:56:30
Sir I have undergone a surgery (extended curettage+ cementing+ plating) for removal of giant cell tumor from my knee distal femur region on 14/4/2022. It's been 3 weeks from surgery now and i have only been able to bend my knee to 75-80 degrees also i feel heaviness in my leg specially around the surgery the location. Is this normal and is my range of motion of knee satisfactory or do I need to be worried.
