Just had my first Visit to Physio after 24 days Post op .
110 Rom but a 20 degree bend to go .I put this down to years of limping .
Physio reckons it will take about 3/4 months work before i can get complete straightness of the leg .
Anyway its all positive and the healing is going excellent .I have already chucked the crutches and gone onto walking stick only .
All i can say is keep at it stay positive .Things can only get better
Wow Scotty that is brilliant, nice to hear a positive story on here for a change., I have not had my knee replaced as of yet, still holding on as I am under 60, although I am bone on bone and haven't been able to fully straighten my leg for some years, if i can keep moving and keep the pain under control, I can stave off the inevitable. had a steroid injection 6 weeks ago and it has improved pain immensely. Good luck for your continued recovery.
Thankyou Auntiebeanie
I would recommend not hanging on.
I am on 57 and my surgeon has said the new knee should be good for 15-20 years on normal use .No downhill skiing 😂😂
Good luck
Good for you, positive attitude and you're halfway there!
Good for you! Indeed, hang on in there!
You will NOT have years of limping!!! Just gotta do the work and give it time. Here's some work to do at home...

He said he'd been limping for years
Mine are 19½ and 17½ years and still going strong , so probably more than 20 years with normal use .
