Brief Answer:
Getting better day by day is a good sign
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. To me, Knee dislocation as a cause of your suffering is highly unlikely. As the care given in the O.T. and ward by trained health worker.Above all it's a very painful condition with severe deformity at knee.
To help you better please tell me-
1. Do you have chronic disease like diabetes?
2. Do you smoke or take alcohol?
My suggestion for your stiff knee and swollen ankle are-
1. Regular knee and ankle exercises along with hot water fomentation.
2. avoid sitting/standing for long period (not more than 25-30 minutes), while sitting keel legs at height.
3. The drugs trypsin/chymotrypsin also helps in reducing the swelling.
Hope this helps.
Take care
