@golfshrink I doubt you can gain much ROM at this point with just exercise but I am also more than a year out and there is a minor procedure that can be done where they make two 1/2" incisions and go in and snip something, the adhesions I think, which can improve the ROM. I am planning to get that done in the next month or so, when I can find the time. If I do I will let you know how it turns out.

@golfshrink I’m not at the one year mark yet - so can’t help ya there - but completely get the desperation to get enough movement to get back to some semblance of your former life. My TKR is from a running injury and I used exercise to cope with stress. The Achilles sounds awful to deal with on top of the knee issue. I sincerely hope you find some anecdotal evidence that gives you the hope you are looking for.
