Hi I can relate I am 3 months out had issues from the beginning….I am at 70 degrees I exercise every 3 hours at home and knee feels stiff all the time Thank god I found this support group …. I went to my first water therapy last week which I know will help …. But most important thing I have done for my recovery I reached out to Maria Gennetti she was very nice made me feel comfortable she does mfr release I found through this link …. I seen her for first time yesterday yes it was somewhat painful but bare able…. Right after our session I felt it my knee was not so stiff and tight it was incredible ….. another important thing is this morning not as stiff as usual….. i slept on my side for first time since tkr was great best night sleep in months …. So I am feeling so good about mfr is going to work ……so if you have not tried I would …I know it is expensive but if it get me back to work we’ll than I pay off my credit card. Lol no seriously my knee has not felt this good sine tkr I hope it stays I let you know….. feeling good having hope been a while thank you for putting the people I need in front of me God and I do the foot work
