Scar tissue: If you had a total knee replacement approx 6 weeks ago, you may be getting symptoms from scar tissue. Keep working with your exercises, cpm, and you may want to let your surgeon know. Thank you for your question.

Swelling: It could be swelling inside the knee joint (an effusion) which could require drainage. The swelling could also be outside the joint ( in the soft tissues), wher the best treatment would be ice and elevation.
