3months post TKR and still stiff .. normal?
Posted , 11 users are following.
Hi all!
Well I got to 3 months post surgery, notwithstanding all my previous moaning and groaning, tears and insomnia.
I do find though, that I am stiff when I've been sitting, and go to stand up. The knee just doesn't respond as quick as a 'normal' knee.
I can't stand for too long - need to then sit.
I think I've developed a bit of a limp, but I don't care too much if I have. Not sure if I walk that way because I'm 'aware' of a new knee, or because I am used to limping from before the surgery - psychosematic maybe?
I ache a bit when I bend my knee backwards - normal?
Also, and this is a biggie ... do you all do your exercises religiously from this point on? I've been getting slacker and slacker, although I do get into the spa every day and do bicycling, leg lifts, knee bends and other stuff I can do in the shallowish water.
Thanks for your comments!

Reading the forum lets you know what's happening is just normal recovery most times or that you are doing better than you think. Good luck to you.
