Oh my goodness!!!! I'm 10 weeks out and wouldn't do a 7 block walk today!!! I know it would be just too much. I still have stiffness after I exercise...and before too!! I walk into PT and feel like I'm walking at a pretty normal gate now. Then I get on the exercise bike for 10 minutes. At first I can only peddle back and forth a bit. Then my knees get a little more limber and I am able to pedal forwards...but slowly. Then I get off the bike...and walk pretty funny with stiff legs. My knees don't seem to look swollen either...I just have stiffness...and it's worse after exercising or just standing up. Jenn...I have to say I'm a bit jealous!! I am 10 weeks out and even though I haven't had my ROM checked in awhile...I know that I'm not much past 90 degrees. My knees seem to be getting better week by week...I have much more stamina...can walk at a pretty normal gait...have less stiffness...but I seem to be hitting a wall with the ROM. It's just not increasing for me by leaps and bounds. My surgeon told my husband when they ran into each other at the hospital a few weeks ago that since I was at 90 degrees at 6 weeks...he's not concerned...and my ROM will come eventually. I see my surgeon in two more weeks...the 12 week mark...and it will be interesting to see what he says then.started out by taking a 7-block walk
