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

I had it since my second right knee was replaced. I feel a tight band in the outside surface of my knee. An ortho nurse practitioner was minimal help. Ortho MD says my IT band is inflamed, ordered PT, and told me to cut down my frequent 5 mile walks, which I have done. I have been a walker for several years, enjoy it so much, so it is impossible to stop my walking although I have cut down.
Any one else have this issue with IT band?

I had this issue after my TKR and PT said it was my IT band too. They used some kind of foam roller on the side of my leg and manually worked that on it for a few sessions and that took care of it. I am 6 years out from my surgery and have had no more problems with it.
