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

New to Clinic, so "HI" to everyone! I'm an 82 year old 3 yr widow. I have had right knee replacement, both hips replaced, back surgery with rods in my back, both shoulders replaced. I am guilty of not doing the exercises at home after PT. As a result, I can't walk very far without pain. Of course, now I desperately want to do something to regain the ability to walk. It is so very depressing not to be able to do things because of this limitation. Is there any hope for me?

My best advice to start to move again is see your dr and get a script for water therapy…..very beneficial in getting you moving again without putting so much stress on your body ….it may take a bit but I do believe will get you going in right direction …. Never too late to improve our physical health….. our odds of better recovery if you continue exercising after pt … but I am sure you know that …..but you can do different this time and water therapy might be great place to start …..but definitely call your dr for appointment see if you have any limitations before you get into anything you don’t want to hurt yourself….good luck hope you can get moving
