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

Hi, I'm also 8 weeks TKR and my knee is still very tight, sometimes I cannot bend it when walking, I'm in the UK and I do my exercises, elevate, ice. But so far only had one physio. It's not nice and can be painful when it becomes really tight.

What kind of stretching are you doing Jan?

I'm only 11 days out from TKR and I know that feeling. I have gone to PT 3 times thus far and it really is helpful. You MUST do exercises for that knee. Did they show you any to do? Some I do are heel slides, leg lifts, gentle squats, etc. I would go on-line if you aren't going to PT and find some beginning exercises. There are some out there with good pictures. Good luck.
