    My ROM improved as swelling after LTKR went down.  My greatest improvement was after nine months, straightening/extension went from -45 two months post op to zero at nine months; flexion/bend went from 95 at two months post op to 125 at nine months. At ten months I started walking an hour in a pool to increase range of motion without stressing my right knee which will be replaced this fall. 

    Be patient, it sounds like you're on the right track.
