Hi Lisa. What is your ROM? I'm 6 months out and I'm at about 130 but not able to do lots of the yoga positions I used to do. I had no idea that with my knee replacement I had to sacrifice flexibility in exchange for getting rid of the arthritis pain. It seems I'll never be able to be able squat down very far or sit back on my heels. How do you handle those positions or are you lucky enough to have full flexion?

Hi, my ROM is about 130-140.
I can’t squat down all the way but I go as far as I can. I can’t do all of the positions like I used to, but I’m hoping if I keep trying eventually I will get there. Sometimes I take a band and pull my knee back while everyone else is doing something I can’t. Hopefully we will both get there someday
