Potentially. Blod clots can move through the body. I would go get that checked by a physician. Immediately. Pain and Swelling 3 months post of a surgery is never good, especially if your knee is still painful. Check to make sure you didn't do anything to potentially rip, tear or break anything in your anlke though.
I've just been diagnosed that I have a torn ACL and a torn meniscus. Could someone tell me WHY the orthopedic surgeon is recommending physical therapy before the surgery?
If you don't achieve full range of motion before your surgery, the rehab will be much harder post-surgery and it you might not regain full range of motion again. I've torn my acl twice and my surgeon really stressed that I get the swelling down before the surgery. Both times I did that and I never had a problem getting my full range of motion back after the surgery.

How long does it take to recover from tfcc surgery?
I've had TFCC debridement on both my left and right wrists. The first surgery was on my left wrist about 5 years ago. From memory, I think it took around 12 months before I started to feel any benefit. Following the 12 month period I would have to say there is only a modest improvement in pain from the original injury. Since this time my left wrist has been bearable as long as I don't try push-ups or anything involving my plan being flat with weight over the top of the palm... Mt second surgery was on my right wrist approximately 12 months ago, unfortunately this time around I have not noticed any improvement with the pain in my right wrist, in fact I believe it is now more irritable and painful than it was post surgery. Hopefully things will improve, I had a hand surgeon with an excellent reputation perform the surgery on both occasions. As pain management I try to steer clear of pharmaceutical drugs (standard anti-inflammatory drugs).... I've used a Curcumin supplement which definitely feels as though it reduces the pain in my wrist.
