I had TKR April 29, 2024 . I'm 7 months out and still have tightness that goes around the whole knee. I did PT for four months then bought a stationary bike and doing that and PT exercises about three times a week. I'm also walking as much as I can. My hope is that how it feels will eventually go away. I am bone on bone iny other knee but afraid to go through that again. The pain was excruciating. It had changed my life. My bandage was so adhered to my skin that it caused blisters and delayed my healing. I'll not do the other knee no matter how much it bothers me unless they invent something miraculous to alleviate the pain and accelerate healing. I sympathize with all who have difficulties with surgery and healing. It's a rough road.
