Already went to get a second opinion—-doctor said that I have scar tissue behind kneecap which is getting caught in the groove of my prosthesis. Plus, he thought that I needed the plastic pad replaced to help alleviate the problem.

@vicki1234, Your second opinion was a confirming one for the revision surgery. Is that correct?
From my research, revision surgery can be more complex and require a greater recovery period than the initial TKR. What has your surgeon told you about the preferred outcome of the revision?
Are there any options like Myofascial Release Therapy or a brace to be worn?

The bottom line for me is that you do not feel trusting and confident. Personally, I would not choose to leap into any surgery without confidence in the surgeon. There are no guarantees, but there are smart choices.

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
