I am going on my nineth month and I am still in pain and cant straighten my leg after knee replacement, my doctor told me that it would take about a year or more before I'm 100%. Does that mean it will take that long before i can straighten my leg 100%? I am 53 a year old male and its starting to affect my hip and back. Has anyone experienced this? If so please comment and let me know what to expect.

    Are you going the PT and how often?  What are you doing on you own?  I am 4 weeks out of surgery and have 110% bend and can straight my leg after therapy 100%.  I go to therapy 3 days a week and work on my own everyday.  Exercise bike had been super helpful.   The is one of the toughest surgery recovery i have had, it hurts.  Be strong and push it hard, you can get results.
