Hi you had bilateral Knee replacement and have fluid retention around surgical site.You also feel that something is being pulled inside your knee joint.In my opinion 2 month is a small time for full recovery, However if you feel pain , redness in the area of the or if the feeling of tightness is increasing , then go for blood counts ,X rays and if anything is wrong consult your surgeon again.
