Scar tissue after knee replacement

I don’t know when I posted that , but I’m no longer taking hydrocodone or gabapentin for my knee. I stopped hydrocodone in 2020, when my dr said he could no longer give it to me if I was taking Xanax. He said I had to choose one of them, so I chose the Xanax. I need it to sleep. I stopped gabapentin about a year ago when I read it could cause dementia. I can’t tell any difference in my knee pain since I stopped those drugs. I hope you can get relief some way. I’ve come to believe we just have to live with some things, and they can’t be fixed. My other knee has been giving some problems, but it would take a LOT of persuasion for me to get another replacement.

@bisutton I think you are right that we do sometimes just have to live with or accept certain health problems. My other knee gives me some trouble now and then and I also would have to think long and hard before I decided to do that again. Good luck to you, it does somehow help to know that it's just not me that continues to have problems with the tkr. That was my 1st post because I was desperate and was looking on the internet to see if others had similar issues and decided to have the scar tissue removed
