My knee flex is 130+ but I still do the range of motion stretch just to keep it good. But I will stop that in a month or two. (I'm 11 months into a TKR). I do leg straightening stretches almost every day because I still need 2-3 degrees there.

@rickraleigh I have never had a problem with leg straightening at all, it's just the flex. It's so tempting to have the lysis procedure but the thought of rehab and not being able to exercise much during that period is discouraging.

I'm surprised that squats don't bother me. I realize I am not squatting as far down as people with no knee replacements can, but I can get pretty far down. I'm much better at those than I am at lunges.
