Plan B is a nerve block in my back. He thinks there might be a nerve running down my leg that is involved. Not sure if i will go for Plan B,C or any other at this point. They just don't seem to get it. It's not pain, it's tightness.

Hi, I'm having this same problem my TKR was July 26th. Terrible pain and the feeling a steel band is tightening around my knee! Had alot of tourniquet pain, and nerve damage.. what is causing this? I've been doing PT, I'm 3 weeks 3 days in, and have a 114 flexion, that I've been working hard for... but this tight band feeling, tightens right back up after exercise! I'm afraid they will want to do the manipulation, because they think it is scar tissue. But I've been working so hard! Thank you let me know if you have any answers. Does the pain go away?

Sounds like I’m in the same situation. Had a nerve lock in back and not worked… I’m waiting to see consultant again??! Total empathy with you.☹️
