I hear you …. Some of us we do everything and then some and still get scar tissue …. I am like you …. I develop scar tissue very quickly even my incision from tkr healed very quickly that was dr first sign I healed quicker …most people who have tkr they can do exercise and go to the gym and break through scar tissue , unfortunately for me was not like that still fighting the fight 10 1/2 month’s revision finally breaking the scar tissue wall lol well I hope it continues I like you and others I get swollen and have to stop everything and go backwards a little….. it’s frustrating but I am still doing mfr, Graston technique, massage , recently I tried reiki form of energy healing…. Well I think was more of a massage but my knee did not like the massage I won’t do that again ….. but I want to try reiki again with someone else…. I also am going to try acupuncture can’t hurt right …I find and try different alternatives but I am nowhere where you are right now, I am 61 been dealing with this almost 2 years but I actually getting somewhere right now…. Hope it continues….. but I understand you wanting to go for surgery to remove scar tissue …… but I would also have a plan in place to focus on trying to break down scar tissue as it develops … there are some new techniques…. Some are pricy …. I pay out of pocket for everything …. But it is worth it most of the time I feel lol…. Good luck to you speedy recovery….
