Hi well I’ve been to gym club and the physio says I’m about where I should be so that’s reassured me a little. She said do more home exercises rather than Going the gym so I shall do that this week see how I go.
Hope your all having a good day so far 😊

Stiffness ("tightness", "a band-like feeling", etc.) is all normal after a TKR. It gets batter gradually, almost imperceptibly, over time. At one year, you'll probably hardly feel it at all. Docs say it can last 12-18 months. At two years, I feel it rarely but definitely when I don't keep the exercising going. That part of it never ends.....
