I had my right knee replacement 9-8-2020 and have IT Band Syndrome ever since. I have been in therapy except 2 weeks which I rested. I had the first therapy place do foam rolling and it made is so much worst. I have changed to a new therapy center and they are doing ultrasound with a few exercises. I had to go to a hip ortho Dr. and they gave me a shot for my Hip Bursitis and this was Friday 11-14-2020. I not sure if I am feeling any better yet. My new PT center visit is 2 times a week. I can't go down stairs yet, walking and standing makes my knee and hip hurt. How many have had Dry Needling and did it work? How long did it take for the IT band to heal?

Autp17 I have had several rounds of dry needling and it did help me. It released some swelling that the PT said was pockets of fluid underneath the skin. She also hooked up the needles to something that resembled a tens unit to stimulate the blood flow back to those muscles. It has helped some, but did not alleviate the problem.
