IT band syndrome after knee replacement

Hi @debbraw and @dickiedo I have tried one session of myofascial release for the tight band feeling that I have had right below my knee since my TKR in Oct 2017. I don’t know whether my problem is caused by scar tissue, fascia problems, or nerve damage, and neither does any medical professional I have consulted. It will take several sessions to know if this will work. It was very intense and painful. Too soon to tell if I am on the right path. If it doesn’t work, guess I can eliminate one of the possibilities of this daily 24/7 pain. Will keep y’all posted. Waiting to hear from anyone else who has good results with this treatment.

@scgraham - I just hate hearing that your pain is 24/7 - and that it has been going on since 2017. Wishing you better luck if you continue through a few more sessions to give it more of a chance.

@dickiedo - I'm glad you found out what was causing the clicking and that it can be done fairly easily. At least by November or so, that part of the problem should be out of the way. Does the cortisone give you relief from the ITB?
