Thank you all for responding and your good wishes.
I am a little disappointed that I have gone backwards, I was making really good progress in the hospital with up to 85 degree bend in my knee, this morning that is down to 70 degrees and with a lot more pain to boot.
I suppose it was my partly my fault for trying to run so to speak before I could walk, but I do feel that the 2 days of no oramorph pain control exacerbated this and as the amount remaining in my body reduced, the mobility of my knee also reduced along with the increase in pain. Whilst I now have a supply of oramorph the damage has been done and it will take time to build up in my system again.
So I will persevere with the exercises and walk a lot more, strangely I have no pain when walking or standing, just when I am sat down and trying to move my lower leg to a more acute angle than I can without the pain.
