From where I am ,you are doing amazing….. your rom wow …..I am 7 months out of revision so I have been going through this 1 year and 7 months now ….. have you tried mfr that helps break up scar tissue and helps with the all around tightness, I also have done graston technique that also helps with scar tissue ….it does get better …. You will find your new normal…. Good luck

What is MFR for scar tissue? I am 14 weeks post TKR (my first one was 5 years ago) I am having so much lateral pain, have been told I have a IT Band Syndrome, plus surgeon says I have so much scar tissue. I can survive during the day, and work, I am always aware of my knee (tightness/ band like around it) but at night, I am soooooo miserable. I am still taking Tramadol at 4 am, take Lorazepam 2 mg to get to sleep but I am up and down all night. My bend is 120; extension is still -12. after PT I too can barely walk... I am doing around 3000 steps a day.
What is mfr please?

Thanks.... have not tried MFR but thought about it. I still have that annoying clicking and am trying to exercise more on the bike and doing the pulls back to my butt to stretch it out and increase the ROM. Maybe I've reached where I am going to be. Not sure. Helpfully the muscle tightness gets better over time. I'm using Diclofenac Gel 1% and Ben Gay 3x a day that that helps tremendously. Oral NSaids I can't take.
