Guys and girls I have this also! Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since surgery and like others have described my knee feels like I have a tight to very tight ace bandage wrapped around my knee. I have had some feels of burning and tearing during PT. I really notice it after I first wake up and I am so paranoid that it is scar tissue forming.

My current PT says the earlier you start the Myofascial Release Therapy the better. I know it's very painful right now, but see if you can find a PT that knows this technique and can advise you on when to start. I wish I had found this group earlier. My "band" is starting to release a "little" and its been 7 months. Best of luck. Keep us posted.
