Hi, had PKR four moths ago, normal recovery, good bend/straight but now get an ache above my knee and leg feels stiff but not the knee. This happens most days. Back to work now sitting at a desk but I do get up every hour.

I can only assume it is something to do with the muscles being effected by the surgery somehow? I hope it improves over time

Your mussels need to adjust to this new way of walking. It's kinda like any other new exercises, you are using mussels that you haven't used properly in quite awhile and so they are getting sore with the new activity.
Are you still doing PT? Everything I've read or heard is you MUST continue to to the proscribed therapy moves with or without your PT.
I'm a week out from TKR. I do religiously my exercises. They hurt like heck BUT at the end of each session my pain is less than before I started the session. It gets better each day. To be trite "No pain No Gain"
If you don't have a physical issues infections etc. the do the exercises. And talk to your Doctor.
Good luck.
Don
