Not uncommon: It's not uncommon to have discomfort and the sensation of weakness in the surgical knee/leg for the first 3 months after surgery. Continue with the physical therapy. If you symptoms continue, follow up with your surgeon.

Knee pain after TKA: Close follow up by your joint surgeon is needed as you should be having few complaints by 2 months at your age. It is possible that you may have an underlying spine problem in the upper lumbar spine that could affect the muscles that control the hip and knee. A lumbar MRI may be indicated. I was able to participate in spin cycle classes 6 weeks after my knee replacement last year.
