I can relate to you. I am 6 months post op and very active but still having chronic pain around outside and inside the knee. PT says the muscles are just getting used to the increased activity and this is the reason for the pain. I am so discouraged at this point as I really expected less pain than before surgery. I hope you start to feel better soon 😊. My other knee needs to be done too but I can’t even imagine going through this again when still having pain. Take care.
