Does your surgeon know about Arthrofibrosis? This is a tight, dysregulated form of scar tissue that can be caused by knee surgery or injury. Check out the "International Arthrofibrosis Association", and "Bonesmart.org" . These websites are very knowledgeable about these pain problems - I understand your fears of another replacement. I feel the same way - have had a revision surgery because my first TKR resulted in Arthrofibrosis, and left me with only 40 degrees flexion - had to limp all the time. The revision surgery was only 3 months ago, so still waiting to see if there is improvement. I do have 90 degrees flexion (so far). Best wishes...... most docs do not know much about Arthrofibrosis.

I’m so sorry about your experience. My surgeon does MUA for patients with less than 90 degrees. I asked about because I have only 110 degrees. Good luck increasing your ROM!
