Knee pain possibly due to screws
Hi I have four screws in near my tibial plateau from a sporting accident about 14 months back. My knee has been tight basically since surgery. Decided to play the waiting game and I have been excersizing regularly for the last 3 months but the pain and tightness of the knee continue. Should I wait longer for my knee to get used to the screws or should I explore options for removal

Require xrays to comment on this. But,if screws are extra articular(not in joint) its better to remove after 18 months of surgery considering your age.
