Scar tissue after knee replacement

I understand how you feel. I had both knees done in 2016. I have not had a day without pain since then. I have tried most everything to no avail. I do have good flexion & extension, just terrible & continuous pain. My Dr cannot tell me why, because the xrays always look fine. It is so frustrating & I feel it would help some, if only a Dr. could explain what went wrong.

I know, so we’re not alone in this. My thoughts are with you also.

@bengalady @rmeddings I wish I could offer some help or a suggestion but it seems as if you have both been to numerous doctors, none of whom have been able to help. If the doctors you have been to not been at a major medical center than I implore you to go to one. Do some research first to find the doctor who might be best for your situation. The doctors at the large medical centers have seen more. If it’s a teaching hospital that’s the best in my opinion. Mass General Hospital is about 55 miles down the highway from me so I go there now for almost everything. I feel very fortunate to have such highly rated hospitals within a 1 - 2 hour drive.
If nothing works out orthopedically the next option is a pain doctor of course. I don’t know much about them but if nothing else worked I would definitely try that option.
