I know we've talked about this a little but I can't recall anyone else on this site having scar tissue removed after a tkr. I've had both of my knees replaced and thought I was done with the knees for at least 20 years but no such luck.
My first knee to have been replaced is now 15 months old and I'm still experiencing pain whenever I go up or down or walk long distances. I've had 4 surgeries on this knee and my OS told me there was a lot of scar tissue. He will remove it sometime in the upcoming month. It should be a simple surgery but I'm REALLY not excited about having any more surgeries having to do with my knees or anything else for that matter. He said this was elective but I feel that I didn't go through all this to still have pain if there was a chance of getting rid of it..... This will be my 5th surgery in two years. I feel like a pin cushion..... Karen
