Prayers for you Eric. I know the pain and agony you have been experiencing. Once surgery is done follow Dr and PT guidance and if they tell you to massage the scar to break up scar tissue make sure you do it. I didn’t on one of my procedures and know I have a walnut sized ball of scar tissue that is painful. In total I have had 5 knee operations (4R, 1L) and they are surely no fun. I am currently taking timed release injections to stave off a replacement for as long as possible.

Blessings and my the good lord touch the hands of all medical professionals involved and also your wife and family.
