If it is painful and getting worse, you should see your OS. If it isn't then put it down to normal TKR replacement issues. That's what I'm doing.

I hope they meet your Mets too! Our pitcher today was awesome. After last nights embarrassing loss we could have been out of it today, but Estrada was amazing and kept us in it. Now another nail biter on Friday at KC.
The tight band feeling is very annoying. Mine has never gone away, but since it is just an annoyance I can cope with it. The thing that was worrying me was pain when I weight bare. Apparently I am one of the 10 to 15% who have ongoing pain. My X-rays look great so the OS isn't concerned.

I am getting the "click" -more like a "thunk"- whenever I raise my new RTKR knee towards my chest in a quasi-one-legged march maneuver. Yes, super annoying, however my LTKR used to click but it doesn't at all anymore.

Add me to the clicking/klunking club. I still have swelling from surgery at 3 months though. Doc says swelling and clunking could last 6 months.

I went to Ortho today. He explained that in order to give me more flexibility he put in a spacer that would do that. He explained that they come in 2 mm sizes and in my case he wanted it a little looser as opposed to tighter which he would put in an older person who needs more stability versus flexibility. That being said he told me the clicking or clunking that I know have is the knee getting less swollen and more flexible. As long as there is no pain. He said it might take up to a year to get rid of it
Anyone agree with that assessment??

I had xrays at 3 mon appt. OS wanted to see how his handiwork looked! Lol!
My OS prescribed Gabapentin for similar issues yesterday. So far I'm a little relaxed, maybe but not too sleepy.
Good thing since I have to watch this exciting Blue Jsys game !! Go Jays!!!!
