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

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 new doctor did a cat scan and an X-ray. Both looked good. When I continued to say I was in horrible pain he sent me for nuclear bone scan. They put radio active stuff in your veins, then do a scan. Three hours later they do another scan. Not sure how it works but it clearly showed there was a failure in the knee implant. Ask your doctor to have one done. Don’t give up.
