PKR January 11th.  Full ROM and extension within 6 weeks.  During the recovery have been dealing with plantar fasciitis in opposite foot (now 80% improved and podiatrist has cut me loose with stretching regimen/night splint).  Past month have been having some issues with increasing muscle tightness, mostly calf/hamstring in operated leg. Now experiencing occasional knee pain but it’s mild and not constant at all.  Therapist uses grastin tool and it helps...but not for long.  Stretches feel like heaven.  I’m in Finance, so I sit a lot during the day and sometimes find two hours have gone by and I’ve not gotten up and walked, though I do try to do short arc raises as often as I can during the day.  Beginning to fret just a bit - of course I’ve read all sorts of mess online and am sure it’s terminal, lol!  Input greatly appreciated—anyone with similar experience and what was the outcome/suggestions for improvement.
