What Causes Severe Knee Pain After A Total Knee Replacement Surgery?
I had total knee replacement in December 2014, 1 manipulation in February 2015 and arthroscopic scar tissue removed and manipulation in May 2015. My knee only bends 80 degrees and still have severe pain. Feels like road rash on knee cap and feels like little pebbles in knee joint. Do you think this is scar tissue? Doc has suggested that and nerve damage. Doesn t want to do another surgery. I m unable to function without narcotic pain meds and want off them!!!
