Cannot Passively Hold Full Extension After TKR

Have you tried strengthening through a gym with a qualified personal trainer? I'm 20 months out, started a gym last January and am now at 130 ROM, based on my second second opinion. Was still lifting my leg to get it in the car and that has resolved!
My first second opinion (revision specialist) said he could remove scar tissue, but go for more PT. My second second opinion (also does revisions) said I had bursitis, gave me a cortisone shot and offered more PT. He was very clear not to open a well installed knee.
I would let your knee hang unsupported with the leg up. I also feel the gym has helped strengthen me and I won't stop till my pain/swelling is manageable.
If you choose another anesthesia event, please ensure your original Surgeon is not practicing on you. My plan right now is for a third second opinion if I can't get the stiffnes resolved.
Best to you!

@joymina7 it’s so scary I’m having trouble too but the k laser therapy has been helping. The MD’s are strong coming out of the gate but the follow through is disappointing and this is our life and mobility depending on them it’s quite scary.
