I have a condition with my knees and blah blah long story short I have to do physical therapy so that means no leg workouts for me for a while now :'(.
Anyway I was wondering if the following exercises (and similar ones) put much pressure on the knees:
Barbell bent over row
Standing military press
etc
So pretty much any exercises using barbells/dumbbells where you'll be standing and either pressing or lifting the weight.
Do these put any strain on the knees at all?
Also, do standing calf raises put strain on the knees at all?
I'm thinking yes but I just want to make sure.

You legs are the support for your whole body. So most likely yes. To what extent I'm not sure. Ofcourse it would be no where near the pressure that heavy squats, legg presses, or deadlifts put on them.
“You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth than go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers sayin’, you ain’t where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody!"

If you don't see the flawed logic in your question, you need to really talk to your physiotherapist"Do not subordinate fundamental principles to minor details."

As to how much yours can take, that's between you and the Dr.

A slight bend in the knees will help take some pressure off.
