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

Hello @janete718, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you are having problems bending your knee at almost 8 weeks post op. I'm sure we have a lot of members who can relate. I was fortunate in that my knee replacement went fairly smooth with some minor patient caused issues, mainly I was not icing and elevating my leg enough.
You mention not being able to bend it enough. Can you tell us how much you can bend it, how much range of motion you have?

My range of motion is 102 degrees. Last week I didn’t make any progress. I just saw my surgeon a week ago and he says I’m over the hurdle . My process has been very slow . Two weeks after surgery I was at 65° instead of 90 that he wanted me out then add a month I was at 90 and now I’m at 102° and praying I do good this week. I’ll be in push very hard in physical therapy. It will be eight weeks Tuesday and my whole life has become nothing but trying to take care of my leg.
