I am 18 months post LTKR and 8 weeks post RTKR. Left is still very painful but Right seems on track. Left IT band very tight and kneecap painful. I was very knock kneed so Dr and PT hoping two straight legs will eventually sort me out. I am afraid to have any sort of surgical intervention, but deep in my heart, I think something not right with Left side. My pain keeps me from living my life. I have not sought second opinion, but thinking it may be time. Anyone had luck with things sorting out? I want to give it time, but what about the pain control in the interim?
