I had one taken out and cleaned up a few weeks ago but it's giving me a lot of trouble still , really quite sore and tender , I'm probably going to have to get it looked at again.

    Thank you @sistersinhim yes I am doing everyday things so I will try to be patient and also ice more . Good luck to you too @rtkneeandy, it is a worry that it will never bend but we will get there eventually. My knee is just taking the scenic route this time lol .

    Hi @Tanya76 thank you for replying to me , it's reassuring to see that you are experiencing the same things as me , it's so hard though isn't it , I think if anyone knew how hard the recovery from tkr was then they would never have it done , perhaps that's why they don't tell you much lol ...
