4+ Months post op now

This week the PT had me start jogging on a tread mill with my brace. Good to finally feel like I'm moving again, but I'm also feeling more pain in my knee when I try to straighten/hyperextend then it was a couple weeks ago. My doc says I need to stretch it more to get the -4 degrees my good leg is (op knee was -2 last checked), but at this point there seems to be a lot of pain when I try to stretch. After sitting for periods of time I'm feeling pain when I get up and walk to where I'm limping a bit, then as I walk it gets better.
The doc feels I'm on schedule to do normal sports (with brace) after 6 months..... I'm hoping so. Going to try to do as much jogging as possible.
