Scar tissue after knee replacement

I understand what your going through all to well. Going in for another bone scan and a allergy test. Maybe these tests were not done correctly or things have changed to reveal the problem. Pain is still there after the last surgery and instability is always there. I find myself worrying about when the knee will finally give out. I have had bad dreams about it. Sleeping at night is always a challenge. To much nerve pain. I wish you all the best, stay strong and keep in touch.

katz you mentioned difficulty sleeping. If you are a side sleeper and aren't doing these things, here are some suggestions:

Place a firm memory foam queen or king pillow between your knees
Put a yoga bolster against your back to support it
Put a smaller pillow in front of you to rest your "up" arm on

These things help me a great deal. I hope you find this useful and all the best.
