You should find someone to video you while walking in a well lit area to show the doctor. And stress to him that you are not recovered -- you cannot walk. If it's not addressed now, you will develop all sorts of other problems with your knees, hips and back and you probably won't have that treatment covered by worker's comp.
Good idea NY Biker, there just isn't enough space at the office to show them that it is like and I will see what I can arrange to make that happen. To be fair to the PT, she did have me on the treadmill and THAT looks fine - because I was holding on and supporting myself. My gait is much better with a cane, oddly enough - probably because it's helping out my good leg a bit more than I knew. The knee wasn't normal for a very long before the surgery and while I did walk normally, it could be that my body had made certain compensations that no longer work with my patella finally being in the "right" place. It really feels like there is now an internal physical impediment in that knee - like an internal brace - and I had ascribed that to nerve "stuff" and recovery.

Thanks again everyone!
