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

after two knee surgery, and three years I still have tightness and pain in my left knee. now it is effecting my back, hips especially on right side. the whole leg is very tight. drs dont have any answers, they are only looking X-ray, MRI. Any suggestions are welcome

Thanks so much for your reply. Yes they have discussed, however, the pain occurred immediately after the ACL surgery and has not abated since. I had no spinal issues prior to that time and the symptoms are such that it seems related to the area of the knee joint/graft site (if I pull or tape the hamstring graft site very tightly, or tie a band above my knee so it compresses that area, I can partially alleviate the symptoms). And it sometimes radiates from the below the knee area to the ACL insertion site and back up to the hamstring graft site and hamstring itself, almost like it’s tugging). I have a physiatrist/neurology appointment next week though and I will have them revisit the spine idea just to be sure. Thanks again for the reply, greatly appreciated!

I’m 2 years in and still have that tight bad around the knee. Dr says arthritis and scar tissue. Any way to get over this. No pain just tightness.

Band. Sorry.

I am 15 months out from surgery and know exactly what you mean. Plus the front of my calf feels numb on top of the awful tightness. Nothing seems to help this very annoying problem.

My knee was feeling great months out. I knelt on it!!! So stupid! Tightness is back and the numbness to the left of my scar actually aches. Hoping with time what I did will fix itself. I think we all deal with these issues. But my knee feels better than pre-surgery. But my patience truly runs out! My friend says I should be glad I can bend to a kneel. She can’t bend her knee that far. I guess every person has a different outcome.

I waited 6 months before kneeling on my knee. Odd feeling because nerve was cut during surgery (normal)
I use a pad to kneeling on. Is tightness in the knee or about it?

Tightness comes and goes in the middle around.
It was much better yesterday and today. Every day is a new day!

I'm a little over two and a half years and yes, I still have this same thing. They did many tests and I was told to just keep exercising and stretching as it takes some longer. I know it's muscular and I still have arthritis though he said I needed the replacement due to lots of arthritis. Never had this soreness and stiffness before the surgery. It's all muscular now.

This is totally me after just one knee replacement. No answers either and I don't know where to go from here. I just want things to be like before the surgery. Seems it affects other areas as well.
