@rjdowdell25 - As my surgeon/friend told be before my 2 TKRs, the new knees will always remind you that they are not original issue. Hopefully, the pre-op pain will be gone post-op, but it’s our responsibility to stretch and work on range of motion, flexibility, etc.

In my experience, it won’t get better with time. It only gets better with work. I’m 34mo and 22mo post op and I still work on them every day before bed, 2 or 3 times per week strengthening at the gym, and actively caring for our 12 acres. Just my experience and I’m sure others have different outcomes.
