I am 9weeks post opp. My knee feels heavy and stiff. When I am in the pool I can move it well but when out of the pool I cannot move it very well at all. Is this normal please.
Dear Dr kaul,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I shall see th Surgeon next week. I have not been to a physio since leaving hospital. I shall take your advice. I have almost no pain. But would like to get back to work soon. Thanking you again for your time.

Hi there!
The level of activity and the symptoms are not particularly abnormal though at 9 weeks post-op a slightly better mobility may be expected. I would suggest considering a review with your treating orthopedician and possibly seeing a physiotherapist, to help improve the muscles strength, movement and weight bearing.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
