I had my right knee replaced sept 25,2003. Almost 10 weeks later I still have pain on the inside of the knee, my knee " clicks " whenever I move it and is extremenly swollen on the outside of my knee.
Complicating this I recevied a kidney transplant in 11/99. Today I saw my nephrologist for my 3 mo checkup. He said my swelling is a little worse than normal because of the transplant but to expect it to improve in 6 mos to 1 year. Also, once I started driving after 7 weeks I now have some knee cap pain but was told that will also go away in time.
My surgeon said recovery can be anywhere from 3 to 6 months.
