Posted: 05/07/07 - 15:39 Post subject: Knee Surgery Scars
I had arthroscopic kneesurgery about a year ago! I tore my meniscus and PCL!! Well I now have these horrible scars. My friend had arthroscopic knee surgery as well. Her scars are not as pronounced as mine. I understand that different skin will react differently to the surgery but on her knee you cannot even tell. On me, it is very prominent. They are red and puffy. It hasn’t changed color any in the last year, and if all it has gotten darker. Why?? What can I do to change this problem??
