Three years post TKR and still have that band sensation.

Had a total knee replacement three years ago. I no longer have pain or stiffness but I still have that band sensation and my leg below the knee feels numb to the touch

I had same sensation for 4 years post my original TKR.
Fortunately I have not experienced that sensation at all following a RTKR on same knee. Was told by new Doc who did the revision - that in addition to being defective..the original implant was also wrong size (too tight a fit). Not positive, but too tight a fit might have explained tight band feeling.
