That's crazy r46. I've never heard of anyone regressing after over 2 years of healing and a good and uneventful recovery. What was your ROM prior to the anaconda arriving. I'm guessing it's affecting your ROM. Something's got to be causing inflammation. Please keep us posted.

Yes, I’m 17 months post-op - I have Plica Syndrome (thick pad of scar tissue under patella), patellar tendinitis, soreness, tightness and some numbness. It’s like it just won’t heal and resolve. My ROM is good (125-130). Just feels bad - I haven’t played light tennis, for example, because I don’t want to push it and make it worse. Have seen lots of PT’s etc. Thought this would go better…

Have you had Arthroscopic or open debridement of scar tissue? These work for some but if you are prone to excessive scarring, it could backfire in your and make it worse with even more scar tissue. I was recommended to have a revision to a hinged knee replacement. In this procedure, they remove your tendons and the hinge takes on the function of the tendons, which is an area where scar tissue builds up.

I'm having the same problem. I only have 60 degrees ROM. My right is twice the size of my left I can only barely work 2 hours a day. I have no quality of life. Not able to do anything physical. Waiting for my pool to open. Only relief I get. I think I'm allergic to the surgical cement. It was like pulling teeth to get the info and name of the cement but got it. Scheduled at large trauma center hospital here in Milwaukee with top dermatologist to be tested to metal, nickle and all the compounds in the cement. Bad part is that this my revision already had a replacement w yrs ago when the cement was first put in my knee. Have never had any relief since replacement dec 2022. Then manipulation, scope a d revision last Sept. That's when they put back into twice as much cement. My doctor used top of the line nickle free replacement for my revision incase I had a nickle allergy.....never tested me for anything! It's mentally so frustrating going from somebody that was active 100% of the time and had a job that required me to be on my feet 90% of the time to being 90% disabled. I can't walk up a curb or get in my car safely, I've fallen 3 times on the ice. It's been a living nightmare. I'm sorry for such a long chat but it gives me support to know someone else understands what I'm going through. Please feel free to stay in touch .

I've attached a picture from a few days ago.

I was told it's permanent disability.
