I'm wondering if someone can help me. I am 55 Yo woman who had a PKR. I'm having so many problems. I still use a cane. Terrible pain in the back of my knee. Is this normal?  I've had many ortho surgeries and usually bounce back. I can't return to work because the pain is so bad. Thanks.

    I am 42 years old and 4 weeks post op from having a partial.  I have a good amount of pain in the back of my knee as well.  From what my PT said it's normal.  Today was my first day back to work.  It's been very hard.  I'm so exhuasted and leaving here soon to head to my PT for a 2 hour work out.  I do think stretching is key.

      Thank you. I'm getting ready to go to my doc just to ease my mind. I almost feel as though I'm pulling a muscle or tendon when I walk. It can be very painful.
