OMG! Your flexibility is amazing. I’m so jealous. I never realized I’d be throwing that away after my surgery.
My flexibility before surgery was in range of +130s. After, with an MUA reaches realistically 120s at best. With so much effort.
These questions need answered prior to surgery. It never occurred to me that my ROM would decrease after, or that I needed to ask about this when buying a new knee!!

I found out about it right before surgery by watching a video put out by an orthopedic surgeon who stressed the importance of regaining extension and flexion during those crucial first 6 to 8 weeks after surgery and he showed the best exercises to do it. It scared me into being good about doing my PT and holding stretches for as long as I possibly could. I'm 6 months now and think I'm at 130ish but still working on it.
