acl and meniscus pain

I had acl reconstruction with meniscus repair in September of 09.  It is almost June of 2010 and I am still having a lot of pain.  I love to workout but I am still so limited on doing some things I want .  Such as squats and lunges.  Going up and down the stairs also sends pain to my knee.  I have returned to my Othopedic Surgeon back in March after I went skiing and had some swelling as he just told me it is still healing and could take up to a year.  I hate calling him and complaining again but I just can't beleive I still have this much pain during exercise.  Even just normal every day walking can bother it.  Any suggestions?
