I hear you all …. For me I still have tightness I think after almost 3 years and 2 surgeries I always will …. I have come to accept it … I don let it stop me from exercising or doing most things I want to do …. Except ride a bike that I can not do well let me rephrase I can but it would be so painful so not the exercise for me ….i have done a lot to help with pain …. Today a big part of my routine is a foam roller it has been so beneficial for it band and thigh pain …. I use smooth foam roller tried textured one was very painful for me but whatever works for you …. Amazon has for 20.00 not bad for relief …. Keep looking to you find what works for you

I wanted to respond to this. I as well had a bum knee replacement 7 years ago. I loved riding my bike. I found the following : http://www.orthopedal.com . We ordered this and installed it on my bike and it helped and continues to help. Our local bike shop was also aware of this little contraption you put on your pedal. I recently chose to be proactive and not wait for as much loss or damage to the other knee. January 8, 2024 was my other knee replacement. It has been successful even though I am still in physical therapy working on it. Good luck, hope this helps.
