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

I was so glad to read that someone besides me had experienced the tight band feeling. I described it that same way to several people who had had knee replacements and even my doctors, yet no one knew what I was talking about. Mine did get better, but not totally. It’s been 1 1/2 years now since my TKR. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

It's been 1 1/2 years since my left knee surgery and the tight band is better, but when I compare it to my right knee replacement done 10 months ago, it is much tighter and still has some fluid around the knee. Thankfully though, it's not painful, but is somewhat restrictive with certain movements. The right was done robotic assisted and more precise measurements were taken which I think helped.

Sadly my knee replacement “mechanically failed” and I ended up having to have revision surgery and a new knee implant. I’m on the road to recovery all over again. Glad to hear you are doing well.
