Scar tissue after knee replacement

I wish my doctor would do one for me but he says he has to open the knee again to remove scar tissue but I do not want to go thru all of that again. It says it would take to l9 g to do it with arthoscope I am like so what I just do not understand I have been suffering for 6 months now

Hi my doctor also said he doesn’t want to open up the same area again because of complications but I don’t understand what I9 g is ?
After 5 days of not being able to bend my knee I was told that I had developed neuropathic type pain. My GP increased my dose of amitriptyline, I have now started to bend my knee, I can manage 90 degrees by myself, first time since my knee replacement in April. My surgeon is delighted with the progress and will see me in 8 weeks time. The physio has sort of given up on me, so I am just pushing myself at my pace. The arthroscopic arthrolysis was certainly worth while for me.

My ROM prior to the arthroscopic surgery last week was 0-70, he said after surgery he managed to get it to 120. I was having hydrotherapy just under 36 hours later. The knee has started to stiffen again, so will see what the physio says on Tuesday. I live in the UK, so not sure if they follow the same protocols over here.
