I was in physical therapy for 2 months
Now I still do it at home
Just feels like I should be walking better by now
My doctor said my X-rays are good

plz take it easy and on weekends stay off the knee as much as possible to give the body time to heal.

June, are you limping because of pain, or because you haven't got back into the habit of walking normally? Is this a physical or mental thing? Is your other knee OK or is that having an effect? Or is it weakness in the operated leg?

I think it's mental
I was limping for about a year prior to my surgery
If I take a bigger stride and do heel, toe, follow through I'm fine
But when I'm not concentrating I find myself limping
The struggle is real😅
