IMO and with my replacements......it does take more than a year to have the muscles, nerves, to repair.I have a prosthetic knee and I think your description (this time) is correct. The joint is fine but the muscles and nerves around it aren't "normal". I've only had the surgery one year now and I don't know what to expect further down the line but as it is now my knee gets tired and it aches after about 2 to 3 miles walk and going down the stairs is dodgy although going up is not bad.
You will probably never be able to kneel down on your knees ever again.....i can't.....but not an issue.
And.....you will have some quirks, which just goes with the territory.
