Scar tissue after knee replacement

I saw a neutologist but think the results were not accurate. He said he was sure it had nothing to do with knee surgery before he even did any tests! He was very negative and treated me like I was crazy and overdramatic and did not like rhe zillion questions I kept asking him (because I was curious about all parts of rhe nerve conduction test and muscle stimulus tests he did). It showrd that one nerve was slow or not at all responding, but that nerve Is not connected to the area where I have symptoms. Anyway, my worry about flexion is that I wonder if it is expected at this point post surgery, to have to force-flex my knee every single morning for 15 to 30 minutes (with painful heel slides) to get it to bend enough to be comfortable enough to go down stairs and move around for the day, and I am almost 8 months out from surgery!

I hate Doctors like that. I just switch when they act like that. I’m three years TKR, still with tightness, swelling. I do get 102, as far as it’s going to go. I don’t do stairs very well, walk sideways. Gabapentin has helped with the swelling. Maybe another round of PT may help ? Good Luck
