Wow, what an improvement!I could only bend to 26 before surgery and about 25 trying to straighten it. I’m at 90 bending and 10 straight now.
I have new shoes I bought right before surgery because I didn’t want to use old wore out ones.@43fullknee, sounds like your ROM is coming back, slowly but surely.
I had new non-knee pains once I got past the intensity of the surgical pain. New shoes solved the problem for me. My old shoes forced a gait because of wear pattern that my new knee did not care for much. Once I changed shoes, the walking pains eased then disappeared. I also paid particular attention to my toe-heel follow through and my stride length to encourage muscles to support my new way of walking.
