Scar tissue after knee replacement

I had TKR in 2020. Good range of motion but getting up from a chair or coming up stairs still hurt. In 2021 I did more therapy to hopefully break up scar tissue but to no avail. My surgeon was hesitant to open the knee up before a year had passed hoping it would go away. Also a lot of noise on standing. 2 weeks ago I underwent surgical scar tissue. They scoped my knee and took out the scar tissue. Doing well most pain is gone still a little tender from the scope.
I will do some PT to help

681,

Do a LOT of PT to help, under the guidance of a therapist and at home on your own. You don't want the scar tissue to come back.

How are you now. Did you continue to improve after arthroscopy? Or did you end up needing to have any more surgery due to pain?
