Yes agree with Lori!
It takes time, l went on the same path intense exercising over did it, first l had to reduce swelling elevation less exercising, worked gained better range.
7mths later still trying to get there Pool daily, PT exercises & 3klm walks. Range is now 115
It takes time & definitely patients.
My leg still burns or swells if l over do it.
Pool is gentle best best & gentle.
All the best with your journey & recovery Janette definitely keep both side equal strength = good balance too.

@klarnold. If you have access to a recumbent bike, that’s great for post-TKR PT. My orthopedic surgeon wanted me to do the bike 5 consecutive days each week followed by two consecutive days of rest. He is also a big fan of pool jogging.

I hope you will be able to get back to a flex closer to where you want it.
