I had knee surgery Oct 16. The swelling is extensive and ha never gone
Knee replacement 9 weeks ago. I’m RICE my knee and the swelling has not gone down. I’ve been on steroids twice. It is not a functioning knee as I can not bend it more than 65 degrees. I go to PT 5 days a week, they are perplexed as well. Any suggestions are welcome.

My opinion I is (I’m not a doctor) that people who didn’t develop excessive scar tissue problems on the first round of TKR, most likely won’t on the next. Can’t speak about recovery, because again, I developed excessive scar tissue from the get go, but it definitely is not worse than the first. If it would correct your problem, and heavy scar tissue hasn’t been an issue, I might take the risk.
Best of Luck!
