Scar tissue after knee replacement
Joint Replacements | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (1582)Comment receiving replies
Someone told me that the surgery is now as exact as pulling teeth. The recovery is NOT! For me, the issue is that since all of us heal differently, the rehab protocol is one size fits all and so what helped most actually caused me more trauma. This scar tissue formation seems to happen to more people than in the past. Or it could be more tkr s are being done poorly. Who knows. I think doctor’s should see patients in office evert 2 weeks for the first 2 months. I have lots of time to think up stuff. I’ll stop now.

I agree with dkapustin, I think all these drs only care about their wrk. I had a knee replacement nine weeks ago my knee is doing well however I have had to go to Pain Management, go to the blood dr my primary care and have been in therapy for nine weeks. I developed high blood platelets, sciatica and my foot is totally numb at the bottom of the operative leg . And all these decks keep passing it to somebody else. The pain is excruciating they don’t want to give you meds for the pain and they to keep telling me that it takes a while. My sister had two replacements done and her knees are amazing and no pain’t or issues. I just don’t know what to do anymore going for shots tomorrow for sciatica and if this doesn’t work I’m out of options

Good points. And I agree that there should be every 2 week follow ups. It would have helped a friend!
