Why Unable To Recover From Knee Pain After Knee Surgeries?
Hello. I had 2 knee surgeries last year. My knee never ever recovered fully. Last week it started to act up and now it worst this week. The pain is in the back of my knee. I can hardly walk and bend it. Please tell me what is going with this. I had a menulis tear on the right side of my knee.

Try a simple test : stand on your heels with toes up (dorsiflexed ankle) while leaning forwards
maintain possition for 1 min
if pain goes away then physical therapy with a professional should be very effective
if i an your therapist i would focus on streching of hamestring and calf muscles , also focus on strengthening vastas medialis ( last 5 degree of knee extention)
you should improve in first week
yet 3 month Physical Therapy is recommended
Good Luck
