Hi,
had a knee replacement almost 8 months ago and overall, I regard the operation as a success. I can walk long distances pain free and I have a good range of movement in my knee.
My concern is that I still suffer from tighness in my muscles around my knee. Some days are better than others and I just wonder whether anyone has any helpful advice or tips for getting rid of this.

thanks for your reply. It is nice to find someone who is at the same stage and suffering from the same issues.
I also went to a physiotherapist and she said exactly the same thing which is reassuring. I did do the exercises for a while but I have become quite fed up with doing them recently, as there seems to be little progress but maybe I should continue with them for a while longer.
Hope that you see some improvement soon. Keep in touch.

It's been surreal the last 7 weeks
Knocked me for six.
Slowly I can feel a lift in the recovery.
I'm ok in the day now. It's just nighttime I can't handle.
It's like a slow torture. Can feel the prosthetic through my skin.
Also around 6am I involuntarily stretch my leg - can't help it - it just happens and it seems like I'm pulling a muscle.
Happy days!!!
