You are very early in recovery so stiffness and tightness is pretty normal. Do your exercises every day to help reduce scar tissue and improve mobility. I am still using a CBD cream on my knee for pain at night. Massage and icing help as well to reduce swelling. Saw massage therapist this week and he did myofascial release, cupping, extracorporeal pulse activation technology (like mini jack hammer), and put on roc tape to stay on for a few days. I honestly feel less pain now. Not sure how many visits I will need, but a few I think. Health insurance doesn’t pay but I don’t care if it works. Just be patient as it may take longer than you think.

I am two years out (07/07/2020) and still have a tight band like what you get with a blood pressure cuff. I have now been diagnosed with internal infection. Been on antibiotics for three weeks and band is a lot lighter. My constant background pain is also gone.
