I am 3 weeks postop RTK and 1 month post MUA. Week ago started having tight band around front of knee in itself just irritating but it’s starting to move up and down when it catches in the middle of knee I can’t even put weight on my leg can’t get back to PT due to inability to walk when it moves OS shrugged and hasn’t got a clue what it is if he doesn’t then who ? I am so disappointed and feel useless

@raymo Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.
You said you were seeing your OS on the 23rd and if not better asking for a CT scan. Have you had any improvement in symptoms?
I'm wondering if you have considered calling your surgeon and physical therapist to tell them that you are unable to weight on it and therefore can't do PT?

Raymo this sounds like what I went through in the beginning. A knife sharp tight band feeling across front of my knee, totally unable to walk and a doctor who kept saying nothing was wrong. Out of desperation I had some of my saphenous nerve cut which did take away the sharp pain across my knee but to this day , over 2yrs , I still am in severe pain below knee. Can’t put any weight without terrible pain. This Wednesday I am trying a nerve stimulator in leg to see if it can stop pain signal.
