I had left knee scoped in may, tlkr in july after surgery ive done therapy it took 7 weeks before I could lift the leg while laying on my back now I cannot lift it while in a sitting position with the leg straight out and I have to pick it up to put it on the bed or in the car, I have a big patch of scar tissue above the knee and it wont straigten out so I walk with a limp which in turn hurts my back and hips and wears me down faster ive seen my ortho surgeons for my knee and back and back doc has ordered more therapy ive had the knee problem for over 2 yrs before I had surgery and ive had issues with my back for more than 10 yrs I was hoping for another opinion I also have arthiritis in my back and knees I have heel spurs on both feet I have bone spurs on my spine I have ddd I have collapsed disc and 2 more bulging from S-1 to L-3 and in the thorasic area also its very painful with one thing out of wack much less when it causes everything to hurt its painful to put my feet on the floor after driving home from work or sitting down trying to relax
