Susceptibility to form adhesions

Hello,
I am just wondering if someone can answer a question I suffer from
Endometriosis - a lap was done last Nov to confirm this. Since this Op
I've gone back to the same symptoms and I am waiting to see a new Gyno
as I think maybe not all of the Endo was removed and or maybe adhesions
have now formed? - none were apparently found at the time of the Lap. I
also have a knee problem - had a scope done in Jan this year (no injury
found but I have swelling and lack of mobility before the scope) and now
I have worse lack of mobility (on flex and extension). I have since
found out that you can also get adhesions of the knee (arthrofibriosis).
I just wondered if the 2 things could be linked?. Am I more susceptible
to forming adhesions due to the Endo - which I know for sure I have, if
this is the case could it be possible that I have formed them in the
knee. I know people get adhesions but some people over form adhesions
and that's when problems occur?.
Any advice would be great as I am just starting to wonder if my 2
'unconnected' problems could in fact be linked by me being more prone to
forming adhesions?.
Thanks
