Is that basically arthroscopic surgery and I hope it gives you relief
I’m curious to know if you stay scar free and can continue to bend

The most recent surgery was arthroscopic, which is not routinely offered on the NHS.
I am working hard to keep the movement in my knee, yesterday in hydrotherapy I managed +5 -90 degrees. The flexion is the best it has been since the knee replacement in April. I haven't seen any improvement in the flexion over the last week, however it hasn't got any worse, so a positive I think! The stinging and burning sensation is still there, I guess I will have to put up with this for now. Not sure how long it will take until full movement is back, surgeon says 8 weeks, physio says 6-12 months. I still walk with a limp and have done for nearly 2 years, not sure how to resolve this as physio advises one way and the surgeon another way. I am so confused!
