Sounds like you're doing just fine, there! Great news. You are quite right that new knees don't like sitting motionless all day. Hopefully you can get up and move about every hour or so when you're at work.

 

[KarriB]

Do you think you have problems caused by scar tissue (adhesions), @NEWBONES557 ?

If you can tell us a bit more, we may be able to help.
