You’re only 6 wks post which is very early in the process! Check with ur Dr re putting cream over scar. I’m 14 mths post tkr & it always feels very tight but no pain. I’m not sure if this will ever go completely.
Good luck - give it time, do ur PT & home exercises.

Do the medical staff say why it remains tight? After my PKR 15 months ago the tightness seems in large part due to skin less elastic from below over and above the knee compared to the other leg. As if somehow some skin was removed.
