Cannot Passively Hold Full Extension After TKR

@shandra I also am 5 months post op TKR, plateauing at 90 degree bend last 3 months . Also told I can wait another 3 months, up to 12, to decide about Manipulation with possible arthroscopy, 3 pencil-sized holes to remove scar tissue. told it's possible ROM might start improving on its own. Told these 2 procedures might help, might not, and could make ROM worse. Like you, I don't like more surgery and am not comfortable with the "odds." Has anyone had continued ROM improvement after 5 months? What is post-op pain level for arthroscopy and manipulation, please?

@tonilynn 6 month physio appt yesterday and my bend is at 103 now ! 102 other one . They don’t measuring straightening for some reason ? Too bad because that’s what gives me a sore back

@tonilynn After waking up from manipulation I had the worse pain I could ever imagine. It did decrease after a couple days but my knee was swollen for a few weeks. Has a scope to remove scar tissue that worked better but scar tissue formed again after a few weeks. Am now doing shock wave and high intensity laser light to help.
