So u have had arthroscopic surgery?
Are u ok and what does a good pt person do differently?
I had the mri , called MARS metal, artifact reduction system
Saw doc today and he said yes scar tissue there, he recommends arthroscopic surgery and manipulation while I’m under
Then 2 weeks of pt
He said there is no guarantee scar tissue won’t come back, some do ,others not
And there is a higher risk of infection when u have a replaced knee, ie foreign object. Which would be really bad.
I’m leaning towards having this done as my quality of life is worth the gamble

It has worked for me.i can now resume my career as a nurse in full clinical capacity. I read my operation notes and it was not a pretty read. In 4 weeks following arthroscopic arthrolysis and debridment of left knee I feel fabulous. Yes I still have pain (Neuropathic pain)but better than I have done
