usually it's not possible to have knee pain after arthroscopic repair i suggest to check with another orthopaedic doctor Or the same doctor and go for mri scan of affected knee joint to confirm there is no extra damage.if still there is a damage present in a joint then take the opinion from orthopaedic doctor as well also visit a physiotherapist. he can help you with different physiotherapy treatment as well as exercise Which will help to get some relief from pain. you can also use hot and cold pack at home frequently and regularly to have some more anti inflammatory as well as relaxing and healing effect on your soft tissues and joint. Take care.
