have you seen a neurologist? That would be my first stop. And your flexion is very good ! Why are you worried about it? Lots of people never get past 120. And I hear that improvement continues for the first year, so that is something to look forward to. Just keep moving. I had my second knee done late September, and I just got to 120. and 125 with some help.

I saw a neutologist but think the results were not accurate. He said he was sure it had nothing to do with knee surgery before he even did any tests! He was very negative and treated me like I was crazy and overdramatic and did not like rhe zillion questions I kept asking him (because I was curious about all parts of rhe nerve conduction test and muscle stimulus tests he did). It showrd that one nerve was slow or not at all responding, but that nerve Is not connected to the area where I have symptoms. Anyway, my worry about flexion is that I wonder if it is expected at this point post surgery, to have to force-flex my knee every single morning for 15 to 30 minutes (with painful heel slides) to get it to bend enough to be comfortable enough to go down stairs and move around for the day, and I am almost 8 months out from surgery!
