My TKR is February 2025, and I've been worried about the loss of flexibility everyone is speaking about. My surgeon said he tries to put his patients own knee cap back in place, versus placing the 'button' when he can, to circumvent the kneeling challenge. I want to be able to do yoga, and squat again, but I'm getting a bit discouraged by what I'm reading here.

Don’t get discouraged, just keep stretching. I stretch my knee every day. Yoga and squats might not look like what they used to for us, but before the replacement we could hardly bend anyway. I try to tell myself that when I get depressed about it. Can’t say it always works, but it helps
