Hi,
I had a medial partial knee replacement on the 25th of Feb 2019. My recovery was going really well and I was walking without crutches at 4 weeks. My knee was never really swollen or bruised, I had quite a bit of pain but it was manageable. I overdid it a bit I think last week (just getting back into the swing of regular household duties - nothing extreme) now my knee has swollen. It's not painful but it feels awful. I have rested it really well for three days and hired a game ready machine to ice it. It hasn't eased the swelling at all. This almost exact thing happened at the 6 week mark after I had a scope as well. I am on 1000mg of Naproxen as an anti inflammatory per day and taking paracetamol for pain. Any ideas, suggestions or help appreciated!
