I am a year out and still feel sore and get inflammation depending on what I do or how much I walk. I'm not sue we will really ever feel "normal" again because it's a prosthetic knee and not our own. My left is bone on bone an doesn't bother me at all since doing the right but the right had so much arthritis and that was what was giving me all my issues. I have muscle pain all around the knee area....mostly in my upper thigh. PT says keep stretching and the surgeon says just stop PT and do things on my own and hopefully it will resolve. I am stopping PT again next week. After PT my leg will be sore, stiff and hurt for days and I've been working on this for over a year. I'm ready to just not have it hurt.
