HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you have gone through the arthroscopy and having pain and swelling then it is better to take the rest few more days till the pain and swelling subsides completely, if Ibuprofen is not giving much good result then, "Tab Diclofenac 50mg sustain release one in day can be tried, it would be better to keep the knee joint immobilized, take care and have good day.
