My husband's knee sounds like Velcro when he bend on a bike. He is in pain. I told him to stop on the bike and walk more. It is the left knee - outside - ITBand location

Hello, and welcome to Mayo Connect. We are a community of people living with a variety of conditions, who try to help each other along the way.
Has your husband had a total or partial knee replacement recently? If so, has he talked to his surgeon? There are ways to stretch the IT band but it needs to be done correctly after knee surgery, often with guidance by a PT to begin. Sometimes scar tissue has formed and needs to be "encouraged" to release.
Let us know how he does.
Sue
