Thank you. Besides friends, I’ve never really seen anyone show sympathy. Medics are so hard. I can walk but pain is erratic. I can’t take mind altering drugs. The knees swell, go red and bite. Sleeping can be interrupted. Arthritis would have been better. But I shall continue to push for answers. I want to continue my tour of the world, with help from my partner. Thank you again. 😇

@lilfor1952 don’t give up, somewhere, hopefully, there is a doctor who can help you. Have you been to a large medical center, teaching hospital? @babette went through a lot but she found a great doctor and has gotten relief. I know a woman who also had problems but she too found a great doctor who was able to fix things.
That being said, scar tissue is a difficult situation though. I was fortunate to not have that problem but there are many on here who do. You are in the right place to hear what people have and have not been able to do about it. Keep in mind that most of the people have come here because they have problems, which does not mean there is no solution. I do have a very small amount of scar tissue that doesn’t hurt but prevents my flex from being as good as I would like. The doctor told me he could do a “lysis”, an outpatient procedure, to remove it. Do you know if that is possible for you?
I hope you will find a doctor who can help you. Let us know how you are doing please.
