IT band syndrome after knee replacement

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

He had done at Mayo over a year ago. He has talked to surgeon who told him to ride bike, walk, stretch. It is the bike riding which worse so I told him to stop and walk longer. The PT made it worse as the man (PT) did not read prescription from doc. We worked with a friend of mine until Covid - then all went downhill and I need stretches. I think I know what to do but am trying to verify. He cannot get down on floor for roller. I have TRX. Thanks. BUT THE VELCRO SOUND -- OMG ... what cause that? Thanks again. j
