What Causes Knee Stiffness And Tingling Sensation In The Foot After TKR?

I had knee replacement surgery 8 weeks ago and although I can bend my knee after exercising and physio.... as soon as I rest it, it seizes up and I have to start the process all over again. I seem to be getting no further ahead to more bend. I am also experiencing tingling in my foot.
