First I want to thank everyone that belongs to this forum for their help and sharing information that we can all benefit from in one way or another.

I have a question, I had my TKR 7-months ago. I go to the gym and exercise my knee at leadt 3 to 4 times a week. I have noticed that while using the bicycle my foot, especially the heel, moves while I am peddling. It seems and looks very unusual. It does not hurt, but it concerns me. Does anyone has had this problem? Is this the way that my foot will rotate on a bicycle after a TKR? I still have pain and stiffness on my knee. Any information that anyone can provide will be appreciated. Thank you very much. J21370

    Raise the saddle on the bike and see if it is any different.

    Do you feel that you are doing the cycling slightly different from your good leg?

    It does sound like your knee bend is not quiet enough so you are compensating with your hip to ride the bike.

    Good good healing

      Clive4546 - you were right. Today when I went to the gym, I pushed the seat back and heel did much better. I guess I was trying to work to hard on the bend. Thanks for your advice. J21370
