Brief Answer:
Due to inflammation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The symptoms that you have even after a meniscus repair are likely to be due to degenerative changes in the knee joint causing a persistent inflammation. The swelling at the back of the knee can be due to an inflamed bursa. This needs an MRI scan for a proper diagnosis.
Till then you can avoid any strenuous knee exercises, do a hot compress, take a mild pain killer and use an elastic knee brace.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

The long wait fro the surgery could have caused pain and other symptoms till July. It is not likely to have a lasting effect on your ligaments, etc causing a persistent pain.
