Very worst decision of my life. I am in constant pain now for 13 years and all the docs do is marvel that i can still bike 40-50 miles.
Yeah i can deal with pain but have near suicidal at times. Cannot hike or walk far or do projects that require getting low. I have seen at least 10 docs in 5 states with no success. Have had arthroscopic but that didn't help. Would consider revision but 6% chance of infection/ amputation.i shoulder on but i gotta say- this single worst decision of my life.

After dealing with severe Arthrofibrosis for 10 years, I do understand, and have had the same types of dark thoughts. Recent research though, is finding ways to reverse this debilitating scar tissue. Here's hoping it comes sooner rather than later.

I'm sorry to hear about this outcome Mark. I had better luck, but I don't walk for exercise, rather I ride a spin bike 5x/week. I'd bike outside but my lumbar spine is in shambles and I don't want the jarring the road can give. I do love spinning though.
I certainly don't have any answers beyond what your surgeons have provided. I don't know where you live, but have you considered one of the Mayo clinics or the Cleveland Clinic? These are the best hospital/medical facilities in the USA. Maybe you could get a referral from your surgeon...
All the best to you Mark.
