@teak, you ask a good question. If someone is suffering from pain months after a total knee replacement, how do you know if the pain is caused by scar tissue build up or not? I moved your question where this is often discussed in the Joint Replacements group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/joint-replacements/

Please see the previous posts in this discussion:

Teak, have you talked to your surgeon about the pain? What was suggested? How is physical therapy going?

I’ve been done with physical therapy for a 3 months now. I was able to stop as I had reached my goals and everything else I could do at home. Yes, spoke with Surgeon and he suggested I ride a stationery bike which I do occasionally. C-ray taken and everything looked fine but I know it’s not, I shouldn’t be having this much pain.
