Has anyone had a tight band feeling after total knee replacement?

Thank you I checked out the Ortho pedal definitely something i am going to purchase …. Looking forward to bike riding with my granddaughter whom I just taught to ride her bike…. Thanks again

I am thrilled you are able to be able to do this! I do hope it works for you. It made it even more special to me that you can do it with a grandchild. please let me know how it goes for you. My husband reminded me to order the correct size to fit the crank arm of your bike. I want to ride more as well, we purchased e bikes during covid which are much heavier. they are actually pedal assist so you still pedal. I have found the extra weight a bit intimidating and made me fearful with now 2 knee replacements of falling. I might go back to my old bike that is lighter. The very best to you and your future success with this little thing that changed my experience.

Over a year out from surgery tsr, total shoulder replacement, and I still have a tight bank around shoulder. Same reason likely--inflammation. A take 3 aspirin and call me in the AM , I will likely be told.

Has anyone had their knee buckle occasionally after a TKR revision? In September had the plastic spacer in my knee replaced. Since the revision my knee buckles occasionally. I really don’t want to do any more revisions. The first TKR only lasted 3 years before the spacer wore down.

Yes, every day in both knees. I think it might be something we just have to learn to live with. My surgeries were one, two, and three years ago (I had to have one revision). It's not so much pain as it is constantly knowing that these are not your knees. Still, I can walk up and down stairs without that horrible bone on bone pain I had before, so I'll take it. I find that at least for me, overall, this surgery was not what I was expecting. You read all about the success rate and hear from people that say it's the best thing they ever did. Then you come to a place like this and realize that you're not crazy. There really are lots of problems associated with TKR. Again though, better than before. I hope you get some relief.

So sorry to hear.

I'm 12 years now and I still have that tight band feeling. No pain just feels like duct tape wrapped around both legs. I had both knees done in 2012 3 months apart. had 3 MUA's on first knee and 2 on second. I'm convinced that those MUA's made the fascia thicker and tighter. I have tried red light therapy, dry needling, a bunch of pt, cupping and massage. nothing really changes it. I"m in PT right now. because of tight leg muscles which are affecting my gait. I do cupping myself and I would like to start trying it at least twice a day to see if that can help loosen the fascia. Hope you have success with your knees.

I am almost 2 years and still the a tight feeling from below my knee to above my knee so it's up and down where my tightness is. PT 4 times now, genicular nerve block and it's not a nerve issue, vascular says veins are good and the bone scan shows a right knee defect consistent with a knee replacement so mechanically I am good....but by evening it is really sore and stiff. ROM is 122 though everything is so tight! I want relief and sometimes feel why did I do this as the last cortisone shot before surgery really worked for me but they were doing them every 6 months. It's not perfect for everyone and I hope you find some relief. I cannot take nsaids or I'd be taking then every day to help with the muscles.
