Total knee replacement: Felt a snap in calf during therapy

So I took my dog for a walk today. The battle my leg is having with bending and the pulling and the pain, it’s crazy.
What’s the most challenging is when I sit for even 5 minutes it’s a battle to stand straight. My surgeon said it will get better with time. I’m only bending 10 degrees. I have to believe he is correct. I’m going to continue pushing myself as much as I can.

@jvalart21 I don’t see that you have been welcomed to Connect so please accept my welcome. I have had two TKRs but I am one of the fortunate ones that have not had any long-standing problems. I do get stiff when I sit for a long time, but recover quickly.
Your flex is only 10 degrees? That is very low. I hope your surgeon is correct and that it will increase quickly.
I’m sure you will start getting responses from the many on here who have had TKRs.
I hope you will keep us informed of your progress.
