@popeye333,
I had a relapse following my knee surgery when I got out of my Laziboy and a sharp pain in the outer side of my knee made me see stars. Extremely sore for a few days to the point that I wasn't still able to get sock and shoe on by myself on the effected leg.
When I asked the surgeon about it he said that he makes perforations in the 'band' that connects the knee to the thigh as part of the surgery. This is to allow it to release as the healing process occurs. By 'release' he meant tears slightly which explained the pain I experienced.
Wise to give it a rest as you suggest and if still bothering you next week get onto the surgeon about it. Swelling is the body's natural protection strategy but definitely worth keeping an eye on it as swelling wasn't particularly present in my case.
