I had total knee replacement 6 years ago. Although better than the pain I had beforehand it still had a little discomfort and I could not kneel on it.

I have just had my 2nd knee surgery 10th August 2021 I was ready for the initial pain which got less as time went on and I was doing Physio each day and walking with 2 crutches, then one, and around 8 weeks carefully walking without any support.

I am finding I am getting a bit low at moment I find it hard to get a full nights undisturbed sleep I settle on side with pillow then am woken because knee is stiff and painful. I get up early as both my knees are painful and I need to walk.

my newly operated knee . when I walk/physio it gets really worked and loosens up but after a while if I've rested it's so painful and stiff . If I sit for a coffee I have a real struggle to stand without it feeling very painful and ceased up.

Is anyone else like this. I am approx 11 weeks post-op
