Scar tissue after knee replacement

7 weeks out from TKR. Had manual manipulation done this past monday. Every day is a struggle. I must develop scar tissue in minutes as I go to PT every day and work through some horrid pain in bending. Today the therapist pressed into my knee scars and I just about vomited because of pain. Is this typical? Also what is osteopathic manipulation and how do u find one and get Medicate and supplement to pay? I am so tired of the swelling and tingling toes this just cannot be good for you!!!! I ice all the time, I do home pt do formal pt 5 days a week i need a break from this pain and swelling suggestions?

Have you tried taking ibuprofen after PT to reduce the swelling? Maybe get on a regimen of Tylenol and switching off to ibuprofen so that you’re not taking too much of the latter. I am almost 4 months.PO TKR, just had MUA, 1.5 wks ago.. don’t see any terrific improvement yet!!
