Hi sorry to hear your still having issues…. I am almost year out and I am going for revision on the 28…..I had difficulty getting flexion and keeping it ….. I had mua at 6 weeks with no results …. My dr blamed me not working hard enough blamed arthritis even my migraines which have been under control…..needless to say I got second opinion hence revision being done my knee slightly to big reason I could not get flexion….I do mfr since 3 months out of tkr it has helped so much for tightness and enabled to straighten my leg almost fully ….. I am so disappointed in my original tkr dr…..with that said never hurts to seek second opinion ….I hope you start feeling relief
I go to a certified massage therapist for the MFR althoughyou might find a PT that does this. He deeply massages around my knee and up my thigh. It feels much better after. You could also go to you tube where many PTs have videos. Hope you find some relief!
