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

I hear you and said this very thing (about not having the surgery)- but what is done is done; for me, I was having a lot more difficulty with walking and was using a cane at points. I do wish that I would have tried stem cell but that isn't covered by insurance nor is it highly proven. What have you done to this point to address it? I have done everything possible and trying cupping now (see prior posts) and haven't done it consistently enough yet to comment. I will get back to the post in a about two weeks. I am considering a second opinion to have a fresh set of eyes to look at my knee and my options.

Re dixie dog and dcwest 8 months is apparently not that unusual to have this. I was terrible at 8 months as per my earlier post. As I said, needed rx anti inflammatory meds for a while and they helped get me through it and keep moving which is so so important. Re dcwest with surgery from over 2 yrs ago, I feel so bad for you. Have you discussed the possibility of an allergy to the metal components of orthotic? I have severe nickel allergy and my local docs ignored my concerns. I went to a Dr. Westrich at hospital for special surgery in nyc and he used a ceramic replacement. The allergy issue is very controversial but cannot be discounted. Check out his website. The ceramic device I have is made from oxinium.
