You will have stiffness after any surgical procedure. It will improve once you start to move your knee and start physiotherapy, which is usually done 10-14 days after procedure

After arthoscopy, once wounds heal, you should start knee bending exercises & also muscle strengthening exercises. This should be under supervision of the surgeon who operated on you.
