I"m 73 and had a full knee replacement in 2016. My motion on the knee has been reduced to 95% my good knee is 135%. The knee swells and is warm most of the time. What i was told is the problem is scar tissue. I spoke to 3 different doctors and they all say the same thing scar tissue. i think it"s B.S but there is nothing else to do if you come up with a remedy I would be interested in any reply.

Hi I’m also 73 had partial knee replacement surgery in 2017 I had scar removed surgically it hasn’t helped much I got some relief but at 73 there are probably other parts to the knee that’s causing pain and stiffness and I wonder if putting a new part in an old body puts more stress on the old parts
doctors are really confused as I am why my knee still hurts and why the surrounding area and muscles are aggravated????
