Hi

I to had problems like this , I think it is still early days and if you keep at your exercises it will come at 6 weeks i had an extension of 40 now at 11 weeks its 5, my bend was bad seemed to be stuck at less than 90 degrees for weeks now its nearly 110, just keep doing all your exercises and it will come.

Good luck.

    I'm heading for 18 months post Tkr now. would never go back to where I was prior to surgery but I am always aware of my new knee. all minor symptoms thankfully but every day different sensations like cramps, tingling, aching, clicking etc. bottom line through is that surgery was completely worth it.

    im at week 7 and seem to be stuck at 5/85 . Ive got weekly hydrotherapy at my hospital and ive hired a private physio to help me at home once a week. Im trying to improve but getting nowhere fast.

    this is one hell of a journey (emphasis on the HeLL).
