I do remember having the same pain as you and Dr said it would settle down which it did.
I think it is just the muscles building up asgain to be honest.
Take care and keep in touch

i had bilateral Tkr in October. I did have pain below the knee and up the outside. I fact, 3 1/2 months later, if and when I get pain, it's everywhere bar the knees. They're pretty good but they do play up sometimes. I'm afraid it is common whith tkr's. You're very lucky if you have no pain. It's a heck of an operation.
good luck with your recovery. Anythings got to be better than the pain we were in before the operation.

I feel like there is a tight band around the front of the knee.really thought I'd be much better by now!
I was off all drugs , but went back to Advil today. I wish all these different stages had been better related to us the patient.
I am not familiar w/ the drug o mentioned.

Sorry if that sounds a long time to you at the moment.
So this is really early days for you.
Keep up the exercises, it does get better.
Take care and keep in touch

I chose to stop the meds because they messed me up in other ways. I have never been one to take a lot of meds. I react more strongly than most people.
I have started to take Advil when I'm really hurting or before I go to pt.
Today my physio really stretched me and I am feeling a lot better. I realize I need to stretch & exercise much mor on days I don't go to pt.
Again, I wish u and ur wife the best
