Scar tissue after knee replacement

I was told that at 120 degrees we should be able to walk up and down stairs and step off of a curb and if I never got anymore these things I mentioned would be important to my recovery. At the most now as I am not working with a PT, I may be at 95 degrees. I cannot easily do the things mentioned above and use a cane on uneven ground and when going up an down hills as it helps my balance but otherwise I don’t use it. Getting in my car is another challenge as the seat always has to be back as far as it can go and then I swing my leg up and than in. I do my stretches and bike in AM and that helps to kinda loosen it up. Then I go for a walk with my dog. At least I can do that.

I would like to add I canceled my surgery at the pre op appointment because I felt like the surgeon really didn’t want to do it and said I wanted to rethink it. I know there are people who have had this surgery and I would like to know their experience. My next thing to do is hopefully get another opinion and/or a surgeon who will take me as a patient as I have read some posts where people have found it difficult to find a doctor as they didn’t perform the original surgery.
