1 month after tkr the top two inches under my scar feel rock hard

My range of motion seems very impaired quite suddenly by a very hard area under the top two inches of my scar about an inch and a half radius. Can this profit by massage? who do i go to for answers, PT or Surgeon?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Joint Replacements Support Group.

The recovery from the Open debridement was as bad, if not worse that the original TKR. It did not increase my ROM despite lots of PT, which my Dr. & PT eventually agreed was unproductive. I don’t have any clunking. The pain was intense for a good 4 months. Now, 7 months post surgery, it does not constantly hurt. Just when I walk.
