Hi @nannyhicks49 I think it can take a long time, for example in this discussion https://community.versusarthritis.org/discussion/51856/ongoing-pain-from-knee-replacement
I haven't had the knee replacement Op myself so can't comment from my own experience but I hope that your pain subsides soon and you start to get the benefits form the new knee.

It's still very early days you know. Maybe you are being a bit hard on yourself - 8 weeks isn't that long after major surgery.
Have you seen your consultant for a check up yet? Or a physio? They will be the best people to reassure you that you are on track.
Take care and as you are already - keep doing your exercises!
Well done
