Knee arthroscopy! Has anyone had a similar experience. Help!!

Little bit of background - 2018 had a skiing injury to my right knee, then went to Dr who sent me for physio, had physio for a year and worked really hard but not much change in support of the knee. COVID hit and everything go postponed but kept up with my physio. 2020 Finally got seen by a orthopedic surgeon who did some physical tests with me and said he was pretty sure it was a blown acl and miniscus damage and sent me for a MRI. MRI results came back nothing appeared torn but I had a enlarged fat pad and they booked me in for surgury. Long story short the date kept getting postponed due to covid and short staff.

Knee symptoms - felt like it's was always about to buckle, crunched and popped every step, constant dull pain inside the knee and always felt bruised. But didn't stop me from daily activities such as walking to work and swimming although it was constantly sore whether I was sitting or standing

So last week I finally had my knee arthroscopy surgury to shave down the fat pad behind my knee (hoffas fat pad) and the surgeon cleaned up the bone itself.

However it's been just on a week, and It has the fejng of hollowness and like its dislocated(like painfull numbness) I cant quite explain it...

I can walk with a limp and extent it straight with moderate pain, but if bend it slightly or sleep on it it feels like it's going to explode and that (hollow dislocated feeling)) I just feel like it's worse than before and it's never going to get better. I'm 26F and before 2018 was a very active sporty individual..

My follow up is around 5/6 weeks...

Has anyone got any information or been through somthjng similar?

Thanks
