most probably left knee was more accurate or fit in comparison of Rt knee before operation.
do not worry regarding your issue.
this is some time common.
take cold pack twice or thrice daily.
ask your physio to stretch left one more precisely.
it will take some time more.
can take pain killer too.
if there is no discharge or pus like thing in lt knee ...do not take tension.

Since the T Score is very bad it will be prudent to correct the BMD to better than < -2.5 along with Knee replacement surgery. Surgery can be delayed by a few months.
