Cannot Passively Hold Full Extension After TKR

@tonilynn The treatments are helping me. My pain level is reduced a lot and swelling is gone. I am about halfway through treatments. Yes I was going to PT as ordered and doing home exercises . The scar tissue just kept returning. My surgeon had no answers for me_ I am one of the rare ones that forms it quickly.

@lorag Yes, I am also one of the unlucky ones who form scar tissue quickly. I have had one TKR, followed by an MUA 3 mos. later. At two yrs post TKR, (flexion down to 85 degrees) I had arthroscopic lysis of arthrofibrosis (scar tissue) and MUA…with 125 degree flexion achieved. P.T. 3 times week w exercises at home and flexion continued to slowly decrease to a best of 93 degrees. It continues to decrease (estimate 85 degrees?) and now have more pain and stiffness(swelling) after walking 1/2 mile. I am NOT happy with this result and would have to be unable to walk or bear the pain before I would have a TKR on other knee. I plan to consult with another orthopedic practice to ask if P.T., yet again!!, could help at this point.
