A member asked:

What would cause a full blown knee replacment to be healing and getting better to be becoming sore and losing range of motion out of nowhere?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Injury: After a knee replacement, it tries to lose motion for two months. You have to be real committed to rehab range of motion. Doing rom exercisers and riding a stationary bike is very important, 20-30 minutes per day. If stiffening layer, worry about infection or injury. Talk to your doctor.
