It has not been that long …. Still has time to get batter don’t give up …. Some of us just have been through it …. But you just started your journey so that is expected where you are at in recovery … just keep moving try some myofacial release that is amazing helps a lot with swelling and pain…. Push yourself to your limits do not let anyone push you past … I believe that causes more scare tissue … but everyone I am sure has their own feelings on this …. Good luck

You're absolutely right about not pushing past your uncomfortable zone. That sets up inflammation again, which causes scar tissue. Please be gentle - flex gently, often through the day, and keep moving slowly. Anything that contributes to inflammation and swelling will cause scar tissue damage. 2 sites for you - Bonesmart (has forums for knee replacement patients) and International Arthrofibrosis Association - lots of information there too, and also forums. Please be gentle.
