I had one it of luck.it was left knee so driving never problem. i know whoever read my post i am expert on post op. I can say under normal healing if u did the right rehab bending leg should be back to normal range, yes with pain ,that pain will take several months to be normal... For me normal has not been in my book as yet.
stiffness and severe swelling is sign to see DR. could be water under knee but here in Florida they will not go with any drainage instuments because that little opening might cause infection. i will get back on furhter information and I COULD WRITE THE BOOK.
NEED TO GO GET GRANCHILD TO BABYSIT.
BUT I WILL BE BACK.
I WOULD HOPE DOROTHY SEE REPLY WANT TO SHARE ALL I CAN

I just hope that you have some strong family support to help you through and we are here, we can sympathise and give you encouragement and support you to a certain extent so that you don't feel all alone.
I really, really hope with all my heart that the MRI results are favourable.
Good luck and blessings.
