Hello @kmart,

I am glad a few other members jumped in to this conversation. I had my right knee replaced in 2006. My recovery was long and difficult because I had aggressive scar tissue growth. I learned quickly that each person responds differently to a knee replacement. It is important to give yourself some breaks and to not be too hard on yourself. We all recover differently, and if you are staying active, I am confident that you will continue to progress and the pain will get better. I had to have two knee manipulations, so my recovery was delayed a long time, but in the end, I now have 0-110 ROM and am completely pain free. It was a hard road, but it was entirely worth it and improved my quality of life immensely. There are a few other discussions on knee replacements and scar tissue formation if you are interested.

Thank you for your journey with knee replacement. Yes I would like to be part of the other discussions

@kmart, here is a large, ongoing discussion on knee replacements, recovery/rehab, and how other members have dealt with scar tissue formation after the surgery, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/scar-tissue-after-knee-replacement/. I suggest clicking on the link and reading through some of the posts and joining where you feel comfortable. I think this will be a great resource for you as you continue your recovery.
