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

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?

My band feeling has not gone away and my surgery date was 2/12/20. I made an appointment with my NP who has an idea of what it may be. I'm waiting for confirmation before I post something on here. Good luck, keep pushing and icing.
