@Stu Boy I feel your pain! I am 4 weeks post op today and I feel such a tight band around my knee! Its hampering me from doing my exercises. When I do start doing them then afterwards it feels even tighter. Its so frustrating. I guess the key is just slow down and let the healing take place. I just worry that I won't t get full ROM if I do t push some.Just coming up to three months post op and like others here my knee feels like it has a tight band around it I have a bend of 85 degrees , I have been told by my physiotherapist it will go in time ,at times my shin aches but I think it probably due to me overdoing things
