I'm at 18 months post RTKR and I can kneel on it without a problem.
I'm at 3 months post LTKR and I can kneel on the softness of my bed only so far.. I'm sure it will become like the right knee.

If you meant "kneeling"... Like you've already heard "It's all individual". I'm 17 months post-TKR and kneeling is still a small challenge. There's zero pain inside the knee itself...after all, it's metal. It's more of a tingly nerve-thing that's more bothersome. So when I need to work on my knees indoors, I use a pillow or 3" of foam; outside, I strap on a pair of SWAT tactical knee pads (hard plastic with cushioning on the inside). Again, it's not bone or joint pain; it's more surface nerve tingling at the incision point. I imagine rubbing in some AsperCream with 4% Lidocaine would help.
