Thank you so very much for this interview. I have suffered with this problem for 5 years after several knee surgeries .Two where total knee replacements. No one in the area where I live seems to know how to treat my knee issue. after much research on my own I found the description of me condition.. I am desperately seeking treatment. It has become difficult to even get a doctor to see me let alone treat me . I live in Myrtle Beach, SC If you have any information where to go to get treatment here I would TRULY APPRECIATE!! The pain is so debilitating and my life if always on hold..
I am 2+ weeks post op knee revision surgery with classic signs of Arthrofibrosis..You mention early diagnosis in post op period and initiation of certain drugs. Can you tell me what these are. Thank you
Almost two years suffering. Had a revision surgery three months after my first TKR (right knee). Contemplating another surgery to “clean up the tissue”.’ Have had all different approaches in PT, as you mentioned, the one not causing “insult” to the knee to try to get better. ROM has been maintained at 90 degrees pushing it. I do therapeutic massages. Do you think they help? My life has been turned upside down. 61 year old female, small framed, in shape. Now my life is totally restricted, pain, heat in the area… I’m under paychiatrist care, reumathologist care. I feel at the end of the rope. Did you recommend a CPM to wake up after a “clean up”’surgery? I had been told that it doesn’t work. So confused.
I am almost the same. 3 years and 7 surgeries. 4 open surgeries due to infection then revision by new surgeon. Quad tendon repair caused me to be in a cast for 3 mths and that caused Arthrofibrosis. I’ve had 3 MUAs and still only at 70°. I also had a CPM machine and it was useless. I’m also petite (128 lbs) and now 64 yrs old. My life has been on hold for 3 yrs since it’s my right knee and I was a realtor but can’t drive. All the best to you.
@@deniseblake2907 I’m so truly sorry…! Don’t know what to say. Nothing that I’m told helps me. Your infection complications must have been just too much. It’s so hard to see the light. Yes, lives on hold it’s what it feels. Arthrofibrosis is still active. Sending best vibes your way and hoping for a better outcome for both if us.
