How does your knee feel once it reaches the year of recovery?

My replacement is a year ago now, still tightness at the inner side of the knee and can’t kneel anymore, the pressure hurts.
At least for the most of the time it’s much better than it was.

@rainerhans if kneeling is important to you try it on a soft chair … I’ve done it on my lazy boy for a minute or two and it doesn’t “ hurt” it’s uncomfortable . I have the best physio that had me come up for more descriptive words for hurt
@rainerhans I agree. I’m glad I had it done. After almost a year it’s still a bit stiff and tender.
@rainerhans
Same over here even though the TKR has been 20 months, it sure beats the old painful knee.

@rainerhans During my preop class, we were told very few people are able to kneel after this surgery.
