I had total knee replacement, manual manipulation and revision surgery within 10 months. I can bend my knee 95. But it swells up after physical therapy and/or exercise. I can only walk 1/2 mile. Started electro magnetic therapy and it is helping with the scar tissue build up but still having swelling. I even rented a flexinator for home. No pain unless I bend my knee to far. I'm also seeing a functional doctor helping me with walking/sitting. She even prescribed Epsom salts for feet and knee. And magnesium for pain/stiffness. It's hard not to be depressed. It doesn't make sense to exercise with my knee swollen. Did I mention I was also given steroids? Any more suggestions? I was wondering if anyone has tried stemwave Therapy. It's costly, does it work? Will nano knee help? Go through the process again? Any suggestions?

Have you been to another orthopedic specialist for a second opinion?
