    Your 2nd op may be totally different from the first.  Don't push yourself to get 100% bend. Concentrate on getting your muscles in shape, especially the leg to be operated on. The more you do now, the better off you will be.  Strengthen both leg muscles at same time. But you must never overdo it. The pain on the inside of knee could be the tendon that holds your patella in place being a little sore from being moved around.  GENTLY cycle, don't go for the marathon
