I'm still in a lot of pain and bend is only 110. I keep thinking I should be further along. I can go up stairs correctly but it's fairly uncomfortable. I really wish I could get this all behind me and resume my life. I do extensive PTL 3 times weekly as well. Suggestions?

    I am also 7 weeks postop. My pain is mostly gone, except for kneecap sensitivity. I too thought I would be driving, walking my dog and past the fatigue. But after hearing from many people on this forum, I am accepting that this is a slow process and I need to be patient. There is a member CHICO MARKS on this forum who has the best advice and tips for getting through this. Since he is active on the forum, I am pretty sure he will see your post and give you links to his terrific tips and overview if this process we are going through.

    It will get better!!
