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

@danielcwest I guess you just have to be thankful that this doctor discovered the problem and will fix it. I had a friend who spent two years limping in pain before she found a doctor who figured out the problem. Sure, another surgery is not what anyone wants but it's better than the alternative of continued pain. I hope this surgery will go well.

What are they going to do?

Total revision. In other words remove the knee replacement that was put in 11 months ago and puta new one in. They also have to make some repairs to my tibia.

What’s most “annoying “ to me is that my surgeon dismissed my complaints. Over and over I explained that the knee seemed to “snap back” when I was walking, that every 45 minutes to an hour I was awakened during the night in horrible pain. The surgeon “never” listened to me, never ordered any additional testing. Just told me “to wait until a year was up.” I asked her is she thought it reasonable to assume the knee would be better, when I’m fact each week, each month it was getting worse? She again dismissed me. When I finally sought another opinion, that surgeon listened and ordered a nuclear bone scan. It was obvious from the scan that there was a total mechanical failure and loosening of the implant. I suffered months and months (torchured) unnecessary. Now I am waiting to get a surgery date which will be couple months more. I must say this also my original surgeon was not at Mayo, but I did seek a second opinion from Mayo and was “dismissed” as well. Very disappointing.

How is a nuclear bone scan different than an xray? Did your xray show nothing wrong? I'm 13 month post-op and having similar problems. Yes, was told to wait for the year mark and then told to give it another year! I really need some answers. Looking for another opinion, and Mayo said no they would not see me, their reply was " we feel we can't give you any better care than you are already receiving".

My X-ray and cat scan indicates all was well. But I was still in severe pain. My doctor sent me for the bone scan. They put the nuclear radio active stuff in vein then do one scan immediately. Then they do a second scan three hours later. They determined I had a mechanical failure. My advice don’t give up and don’t wait inside on more testing. (Mayo doc told me same things you were told wait another year) my doc was at JOI and he listened and tired to find out what was wrong.
