Hi Cindy - my sister-in-law had issues with recurring stiffness after both her knees were done. She quickly figured out that it was worth every penny to buy a stationery bike to use at home instead of going to the gym. When we are down south together in the winter, she rides a recumbent 3 wheeled bike instead - our tiny one bedroom places don't have space for gym equipment!

Hey Sue...I actually have a recumbent bike but when I ride if for more than 10 minutes my leg gets really sore and stiff. It's loose and I can ride it for almost 30 minutes but when I ride too long I sure feel it when I hop off. Doesn't bother me at all though while riding. Did she start slow and then keep increasing because I would have thought by now I'd be ok. My range of motion is 117-121 and knee flexion is great. just get so sore and stiff.
