TKR Bilateral hip & ankle pain post LTKR

I am going into my 7th week post LTKR. My flexion is 115-120 yet my extension is -5. I try my best to do the exercises given to me by PT. But still my knee feels like a cement block & can never straighten it even after stretching. I’m concerned that it is “locked” in place & will never...- Terese
