Scar tissue after knee replacement

Recently two Mayo trained orthopedists recommended the Dynasplint, which I already had. I am using it a few hours a day and I do think it is helping a little with my extension. I’m going to keep it up. It’s hard to walk without 0° extension. Hurts my back and hip to do so. If I feel it is successful, I will try the bending Dynasplint. My insurance pays for it, so what have I got to lose.

I struggled with extension also. I am a cyclist and probably don’t stretch enough. I would sit on the floor and put birdseed on my knee. I would also lie on my stomach on my bed with my knee right on the edge of the bed, put a 3-5 pound weight on my ankle and let it dangle. I would try for 5 minutes. Hurts but it worked. Good luck.
