TKR after 2 weeks

How far out are you now? I'm asking because the NP in my surgeon's office threatened me with manipulation at 3-months when I couldn't get enough range of motion. My physical therapist laughed and said not to worry. I couldn't get the range of motion yet with my own muscles, but he could get it in PT so there was no significant scar tissue, even though it hurt when he had to force my knee. It was months before I could use my own stationary bicycle at home because of that issue, but the one at PT had more forgiving settings. At my one-year follow-up my surgeon was pleased with my range of motion.

I am almost 4 weeks after TKR. The scar tissue is really bad. I can't bend my knee hardly at all like 55/60 degrees. The doctor said last week it was aggressive scar tisue. The only reason I agreed to the manipulation is I can't sit in a chair and I can barely walk. I am doing all my exercises and I have pt 3 times a week. nothing is working.
