@cheris its good to hear there may be light at the end of the tunnel. I'm 4 months out from my LTKR and frustrated at the slow progress especially the tight band problem which became noticeable at week three and got worse through and after outpatient PT. I saw my OS last week and he said that "it is not uncommon but it is usually resolved by month 3, and if not, it may take a year to resolve". Not what I wanted to hear, but I wasn't surprised after doing research here and elsewhere. I'm just hopeful I will get to the day when I can say that the TKR was a good idea.

I didn't think I would get my second knee done
Then said i would wait a year. But 8 months later got the second one done and the whole operation was so much easier than the first time
I did have some sciatic nerve pain that took awhile to go away but it is all good now. Just notice some aches in this cold weather
