Yes you can.
It's good and effective.
But it's more and doc has advised you for operation. Then it will be better to take his advise as he has examined and seen you

I have had pcl reconstruction surgery on 30th jan, followed by knee debridement and lavage on 26th feb due to consistent pain, swelling and mild grade fever. However lab results for pus culture, synovial fluid culture and mtb were negative, ruling out any local infection. Crp and esr are high at 39 and 36 respectively, rest parameters of blood test are normal. After 26 feb, pain was reduced but still it is there. Swelling is there as well. Fever comes and go (99 to 99.5) like 3-4 times in a week. Mri was redone. Result is- marrow edema in distal femur and proximal tibia, moderate joint effusion with synovial thickening and bulky patellar tendonitis. Rest reported normal. Want to know why I still have pain, swelling on knee cap and mild fever thats keeps on coming like 3-4 times a week. What should I do next. I have stopped taking any antibiotics. Not taking physiotherapy sessions also due to pain and swelling. When will pain and swelling around knee cap and fever will go away? Whats wrong with me?

Dear ,
greetings
description tells me that you might have sub-clinical infection. As you are off antibiotics now, we need to see how your feels after 2-3 wks. Repeat your crp and esr levels. 20 days post surgery there should not be any other cause of fever even though its mild. Swelling will take long time to around 6 months or so. Your doctor may advice culture from knee fluid once your are off antibiotics for about 2 wks. Was the second mri with contrast?

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) helps in stabilizing the knee. It also prevents the knee from dislocating or moving outward. It is responsible to attach the patella (kneecap) to the femur (thigh bone). Together, these bones form the patellofemoral joint.

The dislocation of the patella or kneecap is the most common reason for the MPFL to get injured. Individuals with weak leg muscles, ligament laxity, deformed knee, etc., are at a greater risk of patella dislocation. Sportsperson ...more

There are many situations under which people may go through joint or muscle damage. There are other portions that may also go through the side effects of such damage. During the damage, a knee ligament might be overstretched (sprained), or at times even torn. A ligament tear can be incomplete (only a portion of the filaments that make up the tendon are torn) or complete (the tendon is torn totally). Knee tendon wounds can bring about pain, swelling, wounding and lessen the movement of your knee....more

Arthroscopy has brought about a revolutionary change in the way doctors visualize, diagnose, and then treat problems in knee joints, elbow joints, shoulder joints, ankle joints, and hip joints. For performing Arthroscopy, the doctor makes an incision on the skin of the patient and inserts a slender instrument through the incision. The instrument contains a small lens along with a lighting system to illuminate and magnify structures inside the joint. This instrument is known as an arthroscope, an...more

It's due to heavy impaction over the tendon due to uneven weight bearing in the joint, try to do quadriceps strengthening exercises, along with it avoid heavy exercises. Go for graduated weight bearing exercises.
