Exercise and movie - pain!

I'm 8 weeks post tkr on right, left 1.5 yrs ago. Been doing PT 2X week and started back at my gym last week. I did a good workout for my knee at the gym yesterday (PT stuff) for a good 40 min., put a lot of effort into it. Was sore this morning, then sat at a movie for an hour and 45 min. Literally could barely get up after the movie! Did I overdo the exercise? Is it just part of rehab? Maybe I should have left my seat at movie now and then? Still hurting. Thoughts?

    "Did I overdo the exercise?"...duh...  Your knee will ALWAYS tell you when you've gone too far...always...  Here's a good gym plan...

    Endurance before strength.  Start slow and work up gradually.  No two knee ops are the same...even on the same person.  This one may need a more gentle touch initially.  Give it a shot...
