So the diagnosis was arthrofibrosis and the treatment was a scope, with lysis of adhesions, and manipulation. Googling those will answer better than I can relate here. I also copied a very good article in an earlier post.

The docs aren't rock stars anymore. The offices are run as a business with a business plan they have to adhere to in order to make money. So you might only be allocated ten minutes with a doc, who spent two minutes reviewing your chart, moments before he entered the room you have been waiting in for him/her.
You have to be educated and advocate for yourself or your family member.
Sounds like it went well, good news Ross

I write down all my questions and just before they rush me out,,, I pull them out, then things slow down...
