Thanks. I have no issue with range of motion. It is mainly very tender/sore and ugly (protruding). The “knot” appears to be under the skin as when I move the skin, the knot stays put and it is very hard.
I contacted my surgeon and if no better by the first of August, I will go in again. Thanks!

I had surgery on the back of my knee six weeks ago. (Not a replacement)
I had a lump the size of a golf ball at the incision site, hard and not movable. Doctor did a needle aspiration and removed a blood clot and quite a bit of fluid.
I’m a massage therapist and work on scar tissue. If there’s pain and swelling on board, I don’t work it until the tissue has calmed down. It’s never too late to work on scar tissue. Don’t rush it!
