CONFUSED

Had TKR October 2016. Everything went great with surgery, great with Theraphy, ROM great 130, no pain at all. My confusion is HOW LONG will the rubber band feeling(tightness) continue. Especially when getting up in the morning and after sitting down for a while. Going to water therapy twice a week. Still doing exercises that I learned in therapy. Please shed some light on my confusion.

It’s great that your motion has progressed so well and that all of your pain has been alleviated by the surgery. It is not uncommon for this feeling to last up to a year or longer. For some patients, this feeling may never subside. Hang in there and keep up with your motion exercises. Keep us updated on your progress.

Hi, Six weeks out from my total knee replacement. I found that massage and essential oils have been an amazing relief for the tightness in my leg.
