I am at 9 weeks. All is good except bend is only at 100. I have pain behind my knee which prevents much flexion. My dr.says it is normal but not as common as pain on sides or top of knee.. Physio had me on upright bike and have been in more pain than before. So frustrating

I'm also 10 weeks post tkr and have the stiffness. No swelling really, though round ankle a little, at the end of the day. occasionally have a stab of pain, not bad, but just enough to grab my attention. Dr., my physiotherapist, nurses at the hospital where I had the op, all say expect a year before the knee gets to be "as good as it gets". Good luck.
