Hi , I am 7 months out and I severely experienced that . It is much better but not 100% gone yet. I exercise every single day and I keep stretching and bending it and pushing myself . The other thing is I have one of those type of floor bikes for lateral . It helps me a lot . It loosens it . I use it every other day . These humid and rainy days are hard so many of them all the time . I’m in Michigan . The bike machine is called the scoop if interested . I’m not a sales person just a patient that was in so much pain and my bend was slower and I was so frustrated . I am so glad that I have no more pain . It took a good 5 months before I could use it. There are exercises too for lateral muscles . My understanding is it builds muscle around your knees .
