I'm 17 weeks post TKR, had a manipulation on 27th March. I am getting 115 degrees now surgeon got 130. I spent 10 weeks with a straight leg before the MUA . Today at physio I just broke down crying like a big baby, I think I'm just tired and fed up It's been a long journey and my knee was sore this morning and getting pain behind the knee which I havnt had before. Just was hoping it would all be over now, my physio gave me the " not impressed" look when I walked in to theopy as I have a limp and she reakon s I don't need to limp it's all in my head, just having a bad day today . I think I need a holiday 😁

    Like you I’ve had TKR and MUA 15mths ago I’m still in pain and I’m left with a limp. Yes it gets me down and I’m tearful . But now I make the most of it I love to walk and can walk (still in pain ) just need to take a pill . My surgeon said that 5% of people this happens too .im one of the unlucky one .....so now I just get on with life and life is wonderfull .

      I sorry that you are still having problems at this time. I was wondering did your surgeon say WHY you are still having pain and why you have a limp? Did he give you any hope that it may improve in the future? I certainly hope that you improve.

      All he keeps telling me is it is normal. I'm tired of hearing it is normal. When I know for a fact this is not normal
