Swelling and stiffness, 3 years after total knee replacement

Just joined and looking for help. Had tkr in May ‘19 and the outside of knee is constant pain. PT says it’s my IT band. I’ve actually lost mobility since returning to work. Pain lasts all day and wakes me up every night. It’s honestly getting old. I’ve heard you can surgically repair the IT band and wondering if anyone has had it done. Looking for the silver bullet. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi @jwademan and @dmr1271, welcome to Connect.

@dmr1271, there is another discussion in Joint Replacements you may find very helpful to read through and participate in. It focuses on IT band issues after knee replacements and is titled, "IT band syndrome after knee replacement." You can find that here, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/it-band-syndrome-after-knee-replacement/.

@jwademan, if you are comfortable sharing, is your MRI soon? How long ago was your fall? Did you land on your knee?
