Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
After bilateral knee replacement, it takes at least 6 weeks of regular physiotherapy to regain the full range of movement and the strength. The symptoms you are feeling now are normal and will decrease gradually.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
