I posted this 5 days ago...please help with comments/advice/similar situation etc. Thank you.

My last total knee replacement left me with 78 degrees bend (this is after having 2 manipulations too). A second opinion ortho doctor feels that I could possible get 100 degrees bend by doing the TNR over again, taking out all the built up scar tissue during surgeon. I am wondering what are the thoughts on this. I am not guranteed being able to get to 100 degrees. Right now I can't walk up and down stairs properly or get from a sitting to stand position from a chair. My knee is in a lot of pain which prevents me from being able to do every day activities.

Just wondering what other choices there are for me and your opinions on a second TNR.

Thanks, si.
