Recovery response varies from patient to patient. It will be best to discuss it with  the  surgeon who operated  on you.

Swelling is quite common after knee and ankle surgery . It takes a few weeks to resolve. After ACL surgery I normally ask my ask patients to start weight bearing with the help of a single crutch for few weeks . You need to continually with Physiotherapy.
