Had ACL surgery in January and can walk fine now, but when I try to brisk walk, my knee feels like it's giving out. There's still swelling, and I can't bend it past 120 degrees. Sometimes I get sudden pain that reminds me of the injury. Going downstairs is tough even though I can manage upstairs. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Question

I was in an accident a couple weeks back and got some injuries on my elbow, forearm, and knee. Initially, my knee swelled up, not exactly where the injury was, but close by. All the injuries have healed now, but there's still swelling in that spot. I'm concerned whether it's just swelling or maybe some blood clotting. I couldn't bend my knee before, but now I can, although there's still some pain where the swelling is. Could you give me some advice on what's going on?
