[gbetty]

I had a rt tkr in Nov & was going wll until about 1 month agowhen I started getting pain & tightness in my rt thigh & hip. The OS said it was itb syndrone.
& sent me for pt. The therapist said this is common with tkr but it sure is cutting dwwn on my activity. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Yes - painkillers, ice and rest in between the PT but don't go too hard at it with the PT for a while.
