I had TKR 7 months ago. My ROM is great but I still have a lot of numbness on outside of knee. Still feels stiff and very tight. Some pain but not much. Is it normal for it to feel so tight?
That numb area is because nerves had to be cut to access your knee for surgery. This article explains:My ROM is great but I still have a lot of numbness on outside of knee
Complete recovery from a knee replacement takes a full year, so you're only just over half way there. That tightness should fade gradually, but it can take quite a long time.Still feels stiff and very tight. Some pain but not much. Is it normal for it to feel so tight?
