I had my total knee replacement 9 months ago and I am still having issues with trying to bend my knee. I exercise regularly and I'm wondering if anyone is having an issue with tight calfs.

I have had both knees replaced. (2 and 6 years ago)). During therapy I got up to 130-135 but am probably 120 now. My calves are tight as well as I lost range of motion in my ankles. I have tight hamstrings. They all work together.

I find doing yoga to stretch out the muscles really helps, but you have to be vigilant. Also foam rolling has helped me. But again, you have to keep it up.
