Knee Swelling due to MCL/ACL/Non-displaced Tibia Fracture

I fractured my tibia (non-displaced lateral plateau), and tore the MCL & ACL in a skiing accident. This was on 2/5/05 and I still have swelling in my knee despite being completely no weight bearing on crutches. I’ve had my knee elevated 70% of the time as well. Anyone out there with a similar experience who can advise whether the continued swelling is an indicator of a meniscus injury as well? Having a second MRI tonight. Thanks!
