There are gentle stretches that can be done go on line and look. The aren't hard to find and you do them on the floor. Just take it easy and don't try but one or two at the beginning.

Other Pain After a TKR
There's also the muscle rebuild that has to be done to take the load off of the new knee. In your case, I'd try some Voltaren Gel (generic diclofenac) and heed your doc's warning. Ease off the knee for a bit but keep it active. No gym? Order a set of exercise bands. You can do all the rebuild exercises with the bands. Start with the easy one and progress up the set.

That's true. After taking it easy for a bit it should be easier.
