Hi l had a full knee replacement over 1 year ago. I still have swelling. But what is really a problem got me is that l cannot bend my knee St all. So getting into a car or stairs is really tricky. I am waiting for a second opinion. Other knee is painful but there is no way l will risk another operation. Feel very down and it is affecting my job.

Hello
I had a right TKR about 14 months ago and have extreme stiffness in that knee .
I have a stryker prosthesis and I was told by two MDs I cannot have an MRI .
I have since found out that I can and I think that’s the only way to find out whether it’s scar tissue or a malfittingprosthesis .
I cannot climb stairs well in my recumbent bike is a joke the first 15 minutes on it I struggle I just warm up and it takes me a long time to get into the rhythm of it and I won’t say it’s ever gentle on my knee. I only have 86° flexion and I’ve had to manipulations and 60 sessions of physical therapy .
So the first surgery was at the Baptist and I think I am heading into Boston again for a third opinion .
