Hi, does the stiffness go away after knee surgery? it has been 15 weeks. it is on the front of the knee cap. thank you. from karen 08/31/2022?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should eventually if you diligently exercise that knee as advised by physical therapist. Your surgery has been more than 3 months so the recovery seems longer than average but you will get there. Good luck to your full recovery.
