Stiffness in legs and heels
My mother has undergone TKR surgery on 17 Apr 2024 and she is having stiffness in her legs and heels even after taking physiotherapy sessions for 45 days. This is not being reduced since surgery time. She is doing regular exercises and walking (just 200-300 mtrs). Please suggest the cause and remedy.
