@ I read amberpep's post I have a very similar result. My knee was hurting really bad 13 months after my total knee replacement.The knee was keeping me up at night The doctor performed an arthroscopy and cleaned all the scar tissue he could. It helped some as I could sleep at night. I am still in a lot of pain. I have not been excercising as much due to the weather being terrible. Should keep on exercising, or look a having surgery again?

@tims1224 Has the doctor mentioned what the next step would be if you need the doctor to intervene? Since you have had an arthroscopy already I think that I personally would try exercising a bit longer, but I also would check with my doctor and/or physical therapist. If you can't damage the knee by continuing to exercise it, and if you won't lose a window of time when the doctor could do something, you have nothing to lose.
