@tennisgolf That's amazing that you can play those sports yet have trouble on the stairs! Overall it sounds as if things are going pretty well though. It does sound as if circulation may be a problem. There are tests that can be done for that I think. I know before I had varicose vein surgery a number of years ago, they did a test for my circulation to see if it was being affected -- it was.
@danielcwest If your pain is getting worse it sounds to me as if it's time to see another doctor, someone not associated with the same hospital as your current doctor.
@lukyme I never had that tight band feeling with either knee but it does seem to be very common. I hope it goes away in time.

My guest (as I am not a doctor) is that you do have nerve damage. Tightness and tinkling were symptoms I had. My surgeon certainly didn’t have any answers and referred me to a physiatrist. It was there that I got my diagnosis of nerve pain otherwise known as complex regional pain syndrome.
