Thanks, I'm sure hoping this continues, the whole limping like im 90 was getting very old.

Just had my one year checkup on my knee implant... it is perfect!!! So happy about that!
The pain and swelling I've been dealing with are caused by some relatively rare kind of scar tissue on my quadriceps tendon, I can live with it or have more surgery to try and correct it. Now that I know what it is and know that exercise ameliorates the discomfort, I'll live with it.

Congratulations!
Interesting about your scar tissue, hope you can find some relief. You might want to consider finding someone well skilled in the different types of active release techniques, including Graston (uses a tool rather than just fingers) to see what they can do about releasing that scar tissue in your tendon. I've had similar work done with scar tissue in my right hammie and quad a few years back (the year I tried to ride a gazillion miles) - and while it's not pleasant, it did wonders.
I don't know if you have a qualified practitioner in your region skilled enough to take something like this to - but if you are interested I can ask when I see my chiropracter in a couple of weeks. He is one of the most skilled around in these techniques, specializes in high-level professional sports players (he has been on the sidelines of a couple Super Bowls), and may well have an idea who in your area might be appropriate. Given your situation you certainly need the best/most qualified!Last edited by Catrin; 02-03-2016 at 02:28 AM.

Glad to hear it, Pax! Hope you can find your "sweet spot" for activity and that your mobility keeps improving.

Thanks all!
Not sure if it can be released since it's under the kneecap but I'm considering going to a chiropractor I know and seeing what she can do for the tightness in my hips (I'm guessing from my slightly altered gait).
One thing the doc emphasized was to keep riding, he thinks that will be my best form of exercise now, so YAY!
