Scar tissue after knee replacement

If I understand correctly, you had arthroscopy, not TKR, right? Where does one get daily therapy for a few weeks? I had TKR, home PT 3 times first week at home, now outpatient PT. Twice so far, 7 day intervals, now scheduled for every 10 days. Practically all exercises/rehab at home on my own. Not saying that’s necessarily bad, I’m motivated enough, but between your intense schedule and my loosely supervised recovery there’s a huge difference! Prior to replacement I had arthroscopy on the same knee as well, and I used one of those exercise rubber bands to force knee to bend. Also got to 135 within about 8 weeks. Unfortunately, more arthritis as well as bone spurs developed, and now I have rehab deja vue!

I had total left knee replacement in April 2018, manipulation under anaesthetic for arthrofibrosis. Despite intensive physiotherapy for 6 weeks before and after manipulation I needed arthroscopic arthrolysis and debridment last Saturday
