River,
Cleveland Clinic said they can't do anything for me. I for some reason produce massive amounts of scar tissue, they cut it out once and I could walk somewhat normally in the hospital for a couple weeks then it started growing back despite therapy twice a day and being on the knee moving machine (CPM) 24 hours a day. By the time I left the rehab unit the knee was nearly completely frozen and no progress was made with 6 more months of therapy. They say the tissue can't grow that fast but it did. Especially after total knee replacement, few surgeons will try any more scar removal. They say they can't stop it from growing back. Haven't seen my knee cap for 2 1/2 years although it looks normal on the X- Ray. I'm getting along OK, can swim better than I can walk. Swam over 1000 yards today. Maybe in the next few years they'll come up with something after all it's not brain surgery. Have lots of time to perfect picking stocks now.
