Scar tissue after knee replacement

@dkapustin I’m sorry to hear you are still having issues. I think you’re smart to not focus on the numbers. When I went to PT I had my flex measured and it was less than the flex on my other knee which was done about six years ago. The strange thing is that functionally the knee with less measured flex seems to work better!
@katp I hope the second opinion is helpful. I’m like you, those opioids keep me awake! I’m glad I’m not the only odd one.
@doodles418 Your suggestions are great in theory but more difficult to actually practice. I’m going through a lot of pain right now from a femur fracture and even though I appreciate how good my life is overall, I do get depressed by the pain, and knowing I will not be doing very well for my son’s wedding in August. When you are really hurting it’s very difficult to rationalize.

I had my tkr in May exactly because my daughter's wedding is the end of September. I thought I’d be back in action. The focus should be on her, not on me. I hear your frustration and the reality is that life isn’t very good right now. It seems that every moment is filled with what I can’t do. I have a little paper on my kitchen island where I’ve written “focus on what i can do, not what I can’t. “ everyday I struggle with my emotions. Everyday. I hear you.
