Oh stairs! I'm still doing the step-together-step method up and down. It's one of the things that really bothers me, but in my case it's about have so little strength in my quad, my knee will easily bend to get my foot up or down to the next step, if that makes any sense.

Quad strength is important. Have you access to any kind of a stationary bike? I finally brought one for home from amazon. It takes awhile to make full rotation but eventually after warming up I can go all the way. I also have a medicine ball and I lay on my back, put heels on ball and draw legs to chest for as long as I decide, both good for quads and are possible with our limitations.
I was also told to always step down with bad leg and up with good leg, but you might have figured that through the pain if you do the opposite . Have you sought a revision doctor. Have you been told your issue is scar tissue.
