Thanks for your comments. Can I ask what particular stretches are really helpful. I’m continuing pt prescribed which include clam shells hip adductor some for lower back and knee strengthening with band.
I had always heard your knee will recover if you just keep walking. Doesn’t seem to be the answer.
Let’s all keep working. I’ll have to have the other knee done eventually but who wants to give up a year.

I haven’t found any particular exercise that I love, but the “cat & cow” (arching my back, then reversing the arch, seems to help, also bending my knee to 90 while on my back, & moving it to the opposite side. My biggest problem is continuing lightheadedness & exhaustion, which docs can’t figure out. Like you, I definitely need my other knee done, but can’t imagine doing it.
