@artscaping No way could I touch my butt with my heals. When I go to water aerobic classes, often at the end when we do stretches, there is one where you bend your knee and hold it up around your ankle. I can’t even get mine to go straight up.
I had no idea what the pigeon pose was so I just googled it. I could not possibly bend the front leg like the pictures show, impossible!

I meant "pigeon" pose.

Yeah, I too, googled position pose. Do you use the tkr leg out straight or is it the bent one? Is it really ok to put that bent knee in such a position? I am trying to find a way to loosen my hamstrings and back. After doing a lot of lifting and moving (stage manager always cleaning out or relocating theater set buildings or carrying around heavy light sets, etc., or after riding 20-30 miles heavily, my body yearns for a stretch. I used to like to grab my ankle behind me and bend my knee up, but I can not lift my leg high enough to grab the ankle comfortably. It is SO frustrating. I just want to do what I do on the left side to my tkr right side! I am at 6 months and feel like I should be mire limber by now. When I am doing herl slides, I can get to 138 degrees but most recently I can not even go down the stairs foot over foot without leaning way over to the side to avoid intense pain when forcing the knee to bend enough to clear the stairs. Any suggestions out there?
