After 30 days I expect up to 120 degrees of knee flexion but it varies from patient to patient. I think you should visit a good sports physio and try applying ice pack. Mild Swelling after acl reconstruction is fine but if it's too much you need to consult your primary surgeon

Meet a physiotherapist who will be able to help you. Be agressive. If it doesn't resolve in a month's time, you may need arthroscopic adhesiolysis..
