Hi Kiowa
If you are walking fairly normally and your Range of Motion of your knees and hips have normalized then it sounds like your having a positive post surgical rehab. It takes on average about 4 months for the new knee to feel normal.... discomfort, stiffness, feeling swollen, clicking and fatigue are often reported by others who are 8 weeks post surgery.
I would consider going to a therapist( massage, physical etc...) who performs lymphatic massage. This is a gentle type of bodywork that can help reduce or resolve the symptoms you describe.
Best wishes
