Knee still moves inwards when walking

Hi, I had TKR just over 3 months ago for a Valgus knee. For the first few weeks my knee/leg felt straight, but then I did an exercise that caused a lot of pain and after that I struggled to get from sitting to standing or do anything that put weight on a bent leg. That gradually improved as time went on, but I began to feel my knee was shifting inwards when going up stairs. The PT I saw wasn't bothered by it and signed me off a couple of weeks ago. My local area offers 12 weeks 1:1 at our local gym to help people increase their activity following surgery and they watched me walk and commented that my knee was shifting inwards as I walked. Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to stop this happening and whether valgus knees are more prone to problems following surgery ? I'm concerned that this is going to affect my recovery as I've noticed other people with valgus knees seem to end up with revisions not long after the original surgery and I still need the other knee doing.
