Am 3and a half moths post op and wake up in the morning not being to move the knee it seems to be very stiff. Still not back at work but having lots of physio . Things seem slow to improve thinking is this as good as it is going to get.have one good day then two bad . Still taking strong pain killers . My knee bend is at about 88 bend . I all so have a lot of pain at the bak of the knee this seem to have just started . Is this normal ? Have found out that when they tell you that you will have a nice new knee no one seems to tell you about the pain afterwards it is seems to me that I have along way to go and I am a bit fed up think will it ever be better.

    Seven weeks and still feeling 'Wish I hadn't done this!' but there is no going back, so we have to keep going and hope for improvement!  I didn't research before the operation, so was a bit surprised at how painful and slow the recovery is, and can understand only too well how frustrating it must be at three and a half months to still be suffering .  We just have to keep doing the exercises and surely the healing will come in time . . for some of us, longer than for others, but  it's worth persevering!  Sorry you had to suffer such negative comments . . never seen that before on this forum, so please stay with us!
