Hi @eeppeerr88, There is another discussion where members are discussing scar tissue after knee replacement that you might find helpful.

Did your doctor offer any suggestions or followup with the scar tissue problem causing your swelling and pain?

Good afternoon @eeppeerr88, I just opened your post and am not in a place where I can reference other information. Please investigate Myofascial Pain Release. MFR. in fact, if @jenniferhunter is around she might be able you to explain how MFR deals with the restricted tissue. I will check back later.
Be safe and protected.

@eeppeerr88 As @johnbishop suggested, I would definitely get another doctor's opinion. From what I hear, surgeries to remove scar tissue are done frequently and can help a lot. There are times when it does grow back but it's worth a try, in my opinion.
Frankly though, I doubt it's scar tissue with that degree of flex. That's where another doctor's opinion could be very helpful. As I said to @carlin make sure you go to a doctor at a different facility and as John said, preferably a major medical center hospital.
