can anyone tell me what to do about ankle and foot pain after a TKR? this is my 6th surgery in the same knee. In October 2019 they removed my first knee replacement due to infection and out in an antibiotic spacer. I could not put any weight on it at all and had to learn how to get around in one leg while my right leg just hung there. Long story short I had my new knee put in back on May 27, 2020. My leg and ankle still swells and i have pain in my ankle and foot when i walk and it gets worse the more i walk. i am seven weeks post surgery and still only have 94 degrees ROM! I am also experiencing the feeling of a band around my knee. anyine have any suggestions on the ankle and foot pain and the feeling of a band around the knee?

thanks
