5 months in. Tight still but moves around. Blocky sometimes. But playing 2 rounds of golf a week. Looking forward to feeling normal where I can jog (on dirt track) without thinking about it. Get slight moments of normalness. Does it ever get there? Or will it always be a little tight?

Yes, @ferddword, it does get there! I still have little twinges every once in a while when I do something new that My Brat doesn't like. But, for the most part, I am thrilled with my results! You are 5 months behind me and the best is yet to come for you!

Ok! Appreciate it.

Hey folks! 7 months in and doing pretty well. Still has a slight rubber band feeling but it moves around in different parts. Looking forward to when I don't feel that. Coming right?

Thanks for updating @ferddword. Yes, that rubber band feeling should continue to diminish. For my first knee it took a good year. For my second, not quite that long.

Mine is gone.

 

[ferddword]

Ok! Thanks for the replies. So completely disappears where it feels like the knee is your own?

Maybe not a rubber band feeling. Just kinda blocky still. Moves around. Curious on how much time other folks experienced before that went away. And if it ever feels like your own knee. Thanks!

I'm glad people are saying it goes away! I'm right about where you are @ferddword
I'm 7months on one knee, 5months on the other, but still with the "blocky...not quite mine" feeling.
Good update!

Hey McKelly. Good to hear you are experiencing similar. Im thinking its a slow recovery since I am always on it - walking, playing golf, sitting past 4 months. Rarely have I iced and/or raised my legs.
