50, f, had arthro. knee surg. 1 yr. ago. when i don't exercise knee feels ok. but going walking hurts after. xrays mris look good. want to loose weight?

May need PT: Its not uncommon to have knee discomfort or even pain many months after knee scope. Knee may have subtle motion loss or strength deficits. You may benefit from physical therapy. If you have tried pt and you still have symptoms, get another opinion. It's rare to have normal studies and have pain. Something maybe being missed.
