Pain and Stiffness 6 months out from TKR

Unfortunately, 3 years after surgery, my TKR knee STILL will not bend beyond 92 degrees which means my 10 speed bike is never used. Pickleball is out, long walks, jogging, and hiking a faint memory. I've tried all different types of PT and medical procedures to increase the ROM to no avail. 5x per week I work out at Planet Fitness and for 90 minutes endure pain level 10 when I use the leg press and stationary bike. I reject a sedentary life, I'd sooner live with the pain.

Words cannot describe my remorse for agreeing to this procedure. I urge people to think long and hard before proceeding.

I am so sorry about your situation. I had my TKR 3 months ago. My bend was 90 in 4 days. It is now 130. My knee still aches and I ice some evenings. I’m 75 and while my knee hurt really badly for 2 months, I’m much better now. I hope you can find some relief.
