Hello @trecie68, and welcome to Connect. You may notice that I moved your discussion and combined it with an existing discussion titled, "Scar tissue after knee replacement." I moved your discussion here so you could meet the many members discussing knee replacements and the issues that arose after the surgery and how some of the other members are coping with it. If you are replying by email, I suggest clicking on VIEW & REPLY so that you will be brought to the new discussion and can read through the previous posts from members. Feel free to jump in where you can.

@trecie68, I also had issues with scar tissue. I had to have two manipulations after my initial replacement surgery. It took me close to two years to find my new normal which ended up being 0-110 ROM and to become nearly pain free. It can get better and we all heal at different rates. The hot to touch could be a sign you may want to get it looked at. Have you discussed this with your medical provider?

Thank you, @JustinMcClanahan , I have had a cortisone shot since and going for possibly another tomorrow, possible 3rd clean out is in the near future. I am unfortunately prone to scar tissue.
