I just had a lateral release on my right knee.
How much physical therapy and how long might I expect?

    I had a lateral release and scope of left knee 2 wks ago – at my post op they drained 40 cc of blood. When I left the surgical center they did not give me any crutches (I did question the nurse and she said I didn’t need any) I’m going today to have knee drained again and having relentless pain. Can bearly get around and can’t bend the knee. Is this still normal to be feeling this way? Could I have done something to injure it by not using crutches? Help
