Scar tissue after knee replacement

@mickie75 Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Were you ever able to straighten your leg? My PT consists of a lot of things, but range of motion, including a perfectly flat leg while standing and lying down are priorities. It's painful, but seems to be working. Glad you're improving on your own! This is a very variable recovery, isn't it ... some "recover" so quickly and others seem to take forever. They say one year, I guess.

It's over a year now, and still have problems with bending my knee. The manipulation didn't help,, 10 months of PT didn't help either. I still have a lot of scar tissue, and nothing seems to help, Still riding my bike, but not doing all the stretching like I did before. I can dance and walk but getting in and out of cars and going up and down is problematic. The doc that did the manipulation said that my knee is not going to get better, and he suggested arthroscopic surgery. After the hell I have been through with infections and huge tummy issues caused by the all the antibiotics which caused me to lose 17 pounds I will work on my own to get my knee to bend. Someone suggested laser treatment since it's a muscular issue. Will see what happens.
