Stiffness at 4 months after tkr

I am 7 weeks out. My pt is completed. My bend at 135. My knee still feels tight also. I will have a really good day where it feels better, but this week I mopped, vacuumed, and went up and down some stairs, and now it’s back to hurting again. I am so, so anxious it will never get well. It has a burning ache all the time like my skin is very sensitive. Dr has released me and says I will get okay, but will I? I seldom take any ibuprofen etc because it upsets my digestion. Today is sunny so I’ll go walk, but it’s hard not to let fear overwhelm me. I’m 74, and before this I was very, very active.

You sound like you’re do amazing.
Tightness is a thing and most annoying. I’m 9 m out now and wake up very tight, especially if I walked a lot the day before. Siting too long makes it very hard to get up.
Stretching, upright bicycle and I do use ibuprofen and sometimes extra strength Tylenol.
135 is amazing. I truly did not know the numbers or even to ask about how far before my surgery.
