I had a Total Knee Replacement last May, so went to see the Consultant this morning for x-rays and check-up - all’s good in the hood.

I’ve been having some tightness and discomfort over the last month, so he asked me to do various postures (flexing the knee, slow crouch down, and he manually flexed my knee sideways and back and forth).

He said it takes around 18 months for the knee to "settle down" after surgery, so it should improve slightly, but he was very happy with my knee flexibility, and said it was probably in the top 5% of post-surgery knees for flexibility (for all age groups).

Nice to know doing post-op physio exercises twice a day* (after 15 actual physio sessions) paid off..;

*still doing them once a day now
