Scar tissue after knee replacement

@mylynn, I am happy to report that eventually I did get a ROM of 0-115ish. I ended up popping the scar tissue loose on my own once I knew I was recovered and just forced myself to be active. Stick with it. I was not aggressive enough in my PT and I backed off on it which did not help my cause. I allowed my self to get discouraged. In all, it probably took me 18 months from the initial surgery, to the two manipulations, through the crank brace, and then eventually finding my 'new normal' after popping the scar tissue loose playing catch football with my friends. I definitely learned not everyone heals or makes progress at the same speed, and at 7 months post-op, I think you still have some room for improvement! @mylynn, how are you doing with pain & swelling?

Thanx for your reply . I don’t have much swelling anymore but do have pain. I do my own pt at this point as blew thru insurance. I do stationary bike and tons of bending strengthening exercises but don’t see any improvement, used to play tennis and really miss it.
So am discouraged !!

Just thought of another ? What does popping your knee mean and do u think it can be replicated by a doc under anesthesia
Thanx again!!!
