I also have the very tight band feeling around the top of my lower knee. Surgeon said as long as it goes back and forth it's fine. I started to see a lady PA at the surgeons office and shes great. She said about 15% of of the surgery has problems. Many others have had the same problem as we do.
Mine is over 4 years now. I've had a spec iui al freeze where probes are inserted into your knee. Supposed to kill nerves, didn't work. Had cortisone injections, didnt work. Doing this all at the pain center. Going back in two weeks, not sure what next step is.

I have had the injections as well and tomorrow I go to a new physical therapist with hope of additional type therapy concentrating on the IT band only. My doctor keeps telling me he doesn't think it's the actual knee, but the fact he had to straighten my leg so much, it more than stretched this band. Let me know what the pain doctor has to say and I'll update after my sessions with the new PT. Good luck to you!
