Hello,
As you underwent an arthroscopy, did you do exercises post the surgery? If not, I will advise you to undergo knee rehabilitation program post Arthroscopy. Swelling will be there due to irritation to the soft tissues. With simple knee exercises like static quadriceps and static hamstring, the strength will regain and remove the swelling. Knee range of motion will also improve. Do balance board training and also some squatting in low intensity will help regain knee functions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
