I AM 37 AND WAS A VERY ACTIVE PERSON BUT HAVE AVASCULAR NEUCROUSIS. I have just had the surgery one week ago and I am wondering why my knee on the side in which had the surgery is so swollen, and painful, and very very tight and stiff. Is this a normal? my knee hurts almost more than my hip does. please let me know what I should expect with how much pain I can expect and how much rehabilition time-frame will be.

Matt
