It just seems odd that my symptoms got really bad about a month after the knee replacement. Its almost as though my immune system kicked into high gear which it would to help heal the knee but it caused muscle fasics and muscle aches and pains in my good leg. Of course I had to use my good leg a lot more until I was able to walk OK on the replacement, so maybe I just over stressed the good leg. I would have thought using the good leg more would have made it stronger, not weaker ? That's the part that puzzels me ? I'm getting up there in years but still I should be able to improve muscle tone ?
