Scar tissue removal - is it the right thing to do?

elaineva - thank you again for all of the insight related to your journey. I forgot to mention that my surgeon had me scheduled this past October for this scar tissue removal surgery but told me in the preop room that he would attempt a MUA before cutting my knee again... he did, and was able to break it loose... he decided to not move forward with the surgery at that time . The MUA was exactly 1 year after my TKR.
My knee was good for a little while, then it started to regress, the pain, the non movement... very frustrating.
I am not giving up yet 🙂 I am praying this scar tissue removal works.

Hello, I also have a failed knee replacement. The surgeon did multiple tests and the bone scan revealed an occult fracture of my lateral tibial plateau which was inoperable. I could not walk more than 100 feet before I had to lean and take all weight off the affected leg. It would take me three separate trips to make it through the grocery store. Last fall I had a peripheral nerve stimulator placed in my affected leg which completely blocks the pain. I can walk my dog, walk to the grocery store and through the store. I’ve even returned to work
