I had knee replacement surgery 6 weeks ago . Through PT I have been working on breaking up the scar tissue only for it to regrow by the time I get back to PT two days later. I have been massaging at home, using a hand held massager and roller. It is painful and swollen. I am getting very disheartened. Any suggestions as to what else I can do. Has anyone had laser treatments to break up scar tissue? Were they effective?

Sometimes Kaiser can b very good. and often they r very bad. Know of 1 older women that did not get good care until her adult children took her. Another one from Pacific Palisades won't go for help because Kaiser keeps her waiting over an hour. Another women w Kaiser (in her 50's) died of Chrons disease. Good luck, I would never sign w them.

I’m beginning to agree with you, my surgeon has really pissed me off lately. The problem is, Kaiser is so huge in the Northern Colorado area, and the group my surgeon is with has the monopoly on Orthopaedic care. I see a Neurologist Wednesday, if no insight or help, I’m going to go forward, very aggressively, to find someone or get Kaiser to open options for me. Thank you for engaging with me, it’s very supportive.
Hmmm…I’ve had others tell me to get an attorney as well. Sigh…he did both of my shoulder surgeries and was great. This time, I’m greatly disappointed and actually angry now. He shouldn’t be able to just wash his hands of me, and that’s the gesture he used when he said that. Problem is his group has the monopoly on Orthopaedic care in the area and the few I’ve reached out to, won’t see me.
@kimbies1204 Another thing I don't understand is how they simply "won't see you." You are a Kaiser member, they are the providers in your plan.
For 1 week prior to my TKR I had to rub some stuff from a tube around my nostrils. Night b4, take a shower w some HydrClens ? Then the next morning Take Another Shower w ?hyClens, In hospital, nurse gave me large ?wipes – 1 for 1 arm, toss it. 1 for left arm, toss it; 1 for 1 leg, toss it. 1 for left left, toss it. She washed my back, toss wipe. etc. Hospital has THE BEST rating for NO INFECTIONS! IN CA.

Your Dr. sounds like an arrogant ass. Find another Dr. That Kaiser will let you use. This procedure is being done all over the world. There was a risk kf infection during the initial implant, but they did that. Follow the money.
