Scar tissue after knee replacement

I have been dealing with excessive scar tissue in both of my TKR knees for the past five years. I have also been told that I am not a good candidate for arthroscopic scar tissue removal, so I have tried laser treatments and acupuncture with no relief. The only good news I have is that after about four years it seems that the knees have stabilized and are not continuing to get worse. The bad news is that my initial ROM was between 115-120 degrees and now I have less than 70 degrees ROM and constant pain.

Hi exflyer how were you informed about excessive scar tissue? I had a TKR 5 years ago but within the last 3 months the inflamation and pain has increased terribly.
