I read the post about five knee surgeries, but can't find whoever wrote it.
You can regain rom with physical therapy even years after surgery. First though, you might have the knee reimaged to be sure that there weren't surgical errors, hardware failure or scar tissue adhesions.
It is possible that you'd need revision surgery. Sometimes patients are even given the wrong size implant, or imprecise placement.
Did you have good range of motion at any time after the surgery.

Recently had a second opinion and the MD said nothing could be done because there’s a possibility if he even changed out some parts and used a different manufacturer that I could be left worse off then what I am.
It’s exhausting because I believe I can do better but had to ask for PT.
It makes me wonder if they’re concerned with going against a colleague.

@gently I had the 5 knee surgeries. The last was a revision due to scar tissue. The apparatus has never been the problem. I would love to have a other surgery to remove more scarring tissue but surgeon says will just cause more scar tissue. I swim laps and do all kinds of stretches and bends in the pool. 110 degrees bend but can't get more. Dr is pleased I have that much bend. Still always stiff.
