@kimbies1204 - Welcome to the group and I totally agree with @babette - you need to get a 2nd opinion. You should not EVER hear that "nothing is wrong" when you are experiencing the kind of pain you are. Something IS wrong. Try to find the best orthopedic surgeon you can. Wishing you relief and hope.

@debbraw @babette @dduke Thank you for your replies...the isolation with this is just as bad as everything else, so I greatly appreciate this venue. The problem is, in my area, all of the Ortho Surgeons are in the same group and they don’t want to see me. The others I’ve reached out to, Steadman Clinic, won’t even see me because as they tell me, “They weren’t involved from the beginning”. I have researched Arthrofibrosis at nauseum, and My surgeon has said I definitely have it, but yet, I have really good ROM, so they aren’t certain. My surgeon also said he won’t do lysis of adhesions due to risk of infection. I have Kaiser insurance, and am self-employed (however unable to work since the surgeries), so I’m somewhat limited with options. They did a Nuclear Bone Scan last week where nothing was found. I see a Neurologist Wednesday. I’m just exhausted, frustrated, angry and don’t know what to do when every Specialist I see, says they can’t help me. We’ve discussed Arthrofibrosis before, and he told me “Kim, I out in the implants, what your body does with them, is out of my hands”. Sigh...anyone?
