7 weeks post-op, I can get to 120s & 0 now at therapy, after 5 mg oxycodone 1 hour before and 2 therapists working on me, 3x/wk. I do my therapy at home as best as I can too.

But every day is like starting over. Terribly tight, slow to warm up. Still taking Motrin and Tylenol to move. Very tight to bend. Anterior pain that’s moderate with walking. I feel I am walking crooked and now my back is starting to be sore. I am to do the other knee but am reluctant until I see some light at the end of this first one.

Am I going through normal tightness or is this an issue with size?
