Celle,
Thank you so very much for the words of advice! I needed to hear them today and will do as you suggested...not worry so much about my ROM and give my knee a chance to recover naturally. God bless you! Oh Happy New Year too.

I had a MUA and YES lots of soft tissue not being so soft but knotting up! How did you know that? I was told that on the very last day of PT with the advise to "deep massage the tissue around the knee". I wanted to hit someone at that point!!!!!

I had what felt like hard tissue around the scar for my tkr. I had that too along the scar when I had a broken wrist and had to have a plate put in. The thing is all it needed was time to go back to normal. Just part of the healing process.
With knee #1, when I let the PT "work on it" I wound up with lots more pain and it didn't heal any faster than knee #2 where I left it alone.
