Hi, My name isAnnie and Im43 yrs old and I had two tkr done and I had scar tissue done. Its not uncommon.
Of course there seems to be some scar tissue with any surgery but TKR seems to build quickly. I had TKR just over 2yrs ago , range of motion was not bad but very painful, did a revision 8 months ago, range of motion improved but pain remains the same. I am told it’s nerve damage that can come with any surgery. I have tried so many things now it’s down to having nerve stimulator placed in my quad to block pain. Having it done in January, I just want to take a walk. Not to much to ask. Keep the faith
@kfc1390 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support. You are asking if, "everyone get[s] scar tissue after," total knee replacement (TKR)?
You will see that I have moved your question into a discussion where members are currently discussing total knee replacements as it relates to scar tissue. I did this so you could more quickly connect and get support. You will notice members @rknee @rayreich3 @contentandwell @mwatts91757 have experience with this topic and may be a good resource for you. I also encourage you to scroll back through the comments to find previously shared suggestions.
May I ask if you have already had TKR or if you have an upcoming surgery?
