Moderate swelling adds about 4 points to your pain score, since it is also a manifestation of pain. Thus I rate your pain as 8 which is high.
2.Pain medication prescribed :
Celebrex 100 mg 1 daily end 5/24/19
Oxycodone HCL 5 MG tablet take 1 to 2 tablets every for hours as needed moderate to severe pain.
I only take 1 tablet of Oxycodone ½ hour before Physical Therapy. That's usually when I have the most pain.
Tylenol Extra Strength 500mg 2 tablets 2x a day
Oxycodone 'as needed'? How often is that?
Celebrex is an NSAID and a pretty poor painkiller. Really no point in taking it.
Tylenol: take 1,000mg 3-4 times a day at 6hrly intervals. I know the FDA has ruled that 3,000mg acetaminophen is a safe maximum but that would be assuming that the patient is taking another medication that also contained it and thereby inadvertently take an overdose. Assuming that this is not the case, the maximum safe dosage per 24hrs 4,000mgs.
4. ROM Flexion- 90 Extension- +10
That's okay for 7 weeks out.
5. Ice knee for 20 min 3 times a day.
You accomplish little or nothing in 20 minutes. Ice for at least 40-60mins and more than 4 times a day.
6. Elevate knee 20 min 3 to 4 times a day
Same as icing - elevate when you ice.
7. Activity level- fold laundry, load dishwasher and unload, feed the dog and prepare dinner.
Okay

In summary:
1. adjust your pain meds
2. adjust your routine of icing/elevating
3. stop ALL your exercises. They are all of a wrong type anyway and all responsible for your pain and lack of progress. Read this
BoneSmart philosophy for sensible post op therapy. Remember that you don't
need exercises (or PT) to rehab from your knee surgery. There are many on this forum who recovered from their surgery but did NO exercises or PT whatsoever. However, they did their normal ADLs and it served them well. I was one of them. I recommend you read my recovery thread to see how little exercising I did for either knee!
