Scar tissue after knee replacement

Thanks, @dar23 for your thorough response. The only thing I would add is an ice machine to control any swelling. Ice and the elevation positions you described can be very helpful.
An extension of “0” is the goal. How are you doing with your ROM (range of motion)?
May you have happiness and the causes of happiness.
Chris

Yes, Chris, I did elevate with ice and I have a ice machine also. My flexion is at 115.
Our weather has been going up and down. When the weather changes, I have had a tremendous amount of pain in my bones. My bones feel cold like they are freezing. I can’t get warm. The pain gets very intense, a 10.
My therapist put a heating pad on my upper body the last time I was there. This seemed to help me get warm. I am ordering a heated throw to help me stay warm. After surgery I was told I was anemic and I needed to go get tested and get it treated. The day I saw my GP the person was not there to draw blood. The go told me to wait until I have recovered from surgery more. I may have to get in before that. I have a post op appointment this next week with my orthopedic surgeon. I was doing really good until I started this cold bones stuff. I pray it goes away completely. Thank you !
