Scar tissue after knee replacement

I said I would report back after my experience in my elusive search to End this scar tissue pain (see prior threads)... Underwent ablation of genicular nerves of knee last week, so far, no relief, want to beleive that it will still "kick in"... Anxiety and never ending pain prevails, I was informed that many patients find relief after 2 weeks, time appears to going backwards...

Abatment after two weeks is unusual. The regular home health followm up from the hospital is more nomal. After 6 weeks and continuous machine at home, out patient PT can use, interferential current under heat, deeo massage. and contract, relax stretch techniques, recumbant bike, treadmill, upper trunk strengthening and treadmill and core exercise. Some people do better in the pool with float devices and progressive weight, and laps, etc to get ready along with the ES, hear, deep massage. to prepare for the gym.At two weeks, you are are much to early for shots(as a Retired PT, that is my opinion) Gentle considerate comprehensive manual work is the norm. Are you on a home motorized unit? Stick with that first. How old are you?. Did you do exercise before surgery.? Two weeks and some pain is normal. Usually the progressive program and the normal early limited use of opiate s pills are the norm.Something does not sound right???

@damewocane I hope you will have improvement by the end of the two weeks. “Never ending pain” is tough to deal with.
Please let us know how you are doing next week.
