Soreness and stiffness 10 months post TKR

I am 13 months from LTKR and 10 months from MUA. I did 7 months of Pre Op PT 3 times a week and daily at home. I built a ton of scar tissue post-surgery and could not get past a 108 ROM. I have worked up to a 132 ROM since the MUA, and it was painful and arduous. I still have some pain and tightness, some days more than others. I have continued PT 3 times a week and work on strength and stretching at home as well. I thought I would be pain free by now. I also have lower back pain and my right ankle is weak and baby toe is so painful, hard to wear a sneaker. I am going to see a podiatrist about the toe as the pain is throwing my gait off more than before and causing me to limp. Cause was probably altered gait due to the LTKR. Hoping the podiatrist can help to resolve the issue as it may be causing part of the issues I am having with my left knee.
