Laser for scar tissue

Jane: I have a very stiff knee due and the scar tissue has been difficult to deal with. I had the MUA on Feb 10th which briefly improved my ROM but the scar tissue which was broken up during the procedure, has returned to make it difficult to bend again. I'm not giving up, walking over a mile every day and doing my exercises. I'm really not sure what more can be done, other than arithoscopic surgery to remove the scar tissue, but then there's a real chance it may return. I had to fire my previous PT because his, "no pain, no gain" philosophy was literally causing me excruciating pain and anxiety. I've requested a referral to a different PT (woman) who has expertise with Geriatric patients. I'm 67 and just not capable of going through that kind of pain every day! Best wishes for you and your recovery! Hang in there!💖🫂🙏

Suggestions: a mild anti depressant to calm your feelings.
Use a flexionator if you can rent on. Some pt have it. Sit in a chair while cranking you foot to bring your knee to bend. Can crank your knee more each day. I'm 74 so you can do it. I now go to pt at the hospital which has better equipment and therapists.
