I Just Had A Knee Replacement And Am Having Difficulty

I just had a knee replacement and am having difficulty bending my knee. My physical therapist is suggesting that my quadriceps muscle is asleep. We're now using electrical stimulation to 'wake' it up. Typically, how long does it take to wake up that muscle? Can anything else help in this situation?
