Hi all.

Well it's gone 1 year and been an interesting journey. Just wanted to catch up and compare with others really. I can walk long distances without pain which is great , knee still feels stuff at times and clicks about. I thought I would be able to get onto my knees not that I need to very often but with young grandchildren needing nappy changing then I do ...not comfortable at all ! A bit painful really and stiff and sore when I get up ...is this the same for everyone?

    hi pennypops

    i had mt total knee repl 13 months ago , still having stiffness in particular after 20 min walk or stationary bike. it is less stiff in pool.

    it is very diff to bend down.

    i am using JAS KNEE brace which is uncomfortable despite following protocols. DOC says i can have arthroplasty to loosen knee up.

    and increase flexibility past 105 degrees.
