Has anyone had the sensation of an ace bandage being wrapped tightly around the new knee joint?

TOTALLY , I have had 3 TKR and could say that feeling has come with each one . I think this is very common. How long ago was your TKR ? Keep rehab forever

Yes, i had the feeling when i was trying to bend my right knee for weeks after surgery. So i understood what people were talking about. However, now that the majority of swelling is gone that tight feeling is gone as well.I am 7 weeks out and my knee feels soooo much better. Keep exercising and moving. Just don’t do tooo much, it increases inflammation and the tight feeling.

Hi @bwilson1114, as you can see from the helpful replies from @vgen and @sprinrosa64, you are not alone in feeling this tightness. In fact, I moved your post to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can read the previous post and connect with members easily. How long ago was your knee replacement? Have you started rehab?
