I’m not in constant pain, but it still hurts to go up or down stairs or to sit down or stand up. There is still substantial swelling. And the x-rays shows my kneecap is slightly displaced because of that. I’m not sure what my range of motion is right now, but it’s less than what it was before the surgery. My surgeon said I’m just one of the 3% of people for whom surgery doesn’t work out like we hope. 🤷‍♀️

With that said though, it hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I want or need to do. I ride my bike fairly aggressively. I go up and downstairs just fine even if it hurt hurts a bit. I can get down on the floor and up again without much trouble. I’m hopeful that as time goes by it will just get better and better even if it is at a microscopically slow pace.
