Scar tissue after knee replacement

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

@bengalady I doubt that PT would help much now but if your orthopedic doctor thinks it might he will prescribe it. My orthopedic doctor is huge on riding a recumbent bike, getting the seat as far up as possible. I have used that a lot. I also do pool walking/jogging. When I do that I lift my leg up high to get a good knee bend.
I did actually have slight improvement -- a few degrees -- beyond that first year.
