@madjacks As Colleen mentioned, there are those of us too who did not have prolonged pain, and I was fortuante to be part of that group.
I wish I had more to offer to you, but if your orthopedist does not offer any help then I would try a different doctor, one not at the same medical center. I find that when two doctors are at the same medical center they do not contradict each other. Try to find one at a major medical center, preferably a teaching hospital. I live in southern NH and have a lot more confidence in the doctors in Boston than I do in most of the doctors up here. Very simply, they see more so they know more.
There are a couple of different procedures that are done to improve flex, has your doctor suggested that at all?

As far as flex he has not at the last appointment he said if the pain persists he would want to do a nerve study. I feel it is scar tissue the joint feels good and moves freely in the travel it does have just seems everything around it on the outer portion of joint soft tissue is the problem at night is the worst if I role in my sleep the pain is unreal if I catch myself and tighten my quads the pain is not near as bad
