Band feeling around knee when I walk.

Posted , 10 users are following.

I am thee months p/o from having  tkr surgery.  When I walk I have the feeling of a tight band around my knee.  My knee is very stiff.  I do physical therapy 3 x a week.  I walk a mile, drive, etc.  my rom is only 107 and that is with force and pain.  I am feeling very depressed and discouraged.  Has anyone else dealt with this feeling?

    Yes, your symptoms mirror mine.  I just quit PT last week after 6 months.  I now take each day as it comes.  I am very active around the house up and down stairs, bending, lifting, cooking, vacuuming, mopping.   In addition I'm fostering a blind dachshund.  I get so tired and achy and both legs hurt at night.  I'm at the point where I think the only where are you to heal is to do.  Not everyone feels the way I do, but I'm just listening to my body.  Btw, I'm 7 months out.
