TKR Day to day sitting about

I don’t think the tight band disappears overnight, I think for most of us it’s more of a gradual thing. It will probably show up again while we’re healing, when we overdo our activities.
 
With both my total knees is started to diminish by three months; it was gradual...
Some members do have it longer, but it is a gradual thing.
 
Hi Caron,
Happy Two Month Anniversary!

Icing and elevation may help to reduce any swelling associated with the tightness if you're not doing so already.
Hopefully it begins noticeably easing for you.

does the tight band feeling just disappear. I know it can take months, but does it just disappear over night
I didn't find that it just disappeared overnight.
What happened was it gradually reduced over several months. It would be gone in the morning after sleep but would come back as the day wore on. Eventually it only came after a heavy day in the evening. The intensity also reduced gradually.
Then it disappeared but came back occasionally after a really bad day.
I remember at over a year, it had gone for a while. But then I stupidly wore high heels for a funeral and we ended up standing for ages on muddy uneven ground near the grave. It came back slightly for a few hours that evening.
I am sure it is due to very slight swelling causing discomfort. The knee is avery small joint space and even a tiny bit os swelling upsets it.
