My wife had her knee replaced in January.
The first few weeks were rough; the doctor finally decided he’d have to “manipulate” the knee because of limited mobility. The procedure consisted of giving her a general anesthesia and bending her knee back as far as it would go.
She immediately noticed improvement and her rehabilitation progressed rapidly from that point.

Thanks for the reply. Had to "manipulate the knee (yikes). I am so glad that this fixed the problem and she is now doing really well.
I had no idea that a knee replacement was harder to recover from than a hip replacement.
