Yes, plural. According to the surgeon they don't consider a knee replacement to be fully healed for one year. So when the cold fronts started going back & forth, especially the ones bringing damp with them, they both starting hurting. Like a bastard at times.
On the most recent surgery, it really is improving. I've got a lot more range of motion, and haven't needed help to sleep at night for a while(during the battles of the fronts, a few times should probably have availed myself of it). Still a lot of aching depending on what I'm doing, or attempting to do. And the height & design of chairs can make the difference between getting up with a little ache and a quiet(when others are around) 'Sunuvabitch!' as I stand up. And just standing, without walking, for a while tends to make them stiffen up and get downright painful at times.
Some of you are probably nodding your heads, and for the rest: hope there are better solutions before you get old and/or damaged.
I'm now going to do some of the home PT stuff, which will involve an amount of cursing and moaning after. Be glad you don't have to listen to it.

When I was young I used to laugh at the "older timers" who said things like that...then I became one. Yep, stuff hurts when the weather changes.
