Why is your knee fricked up?

I grew up in a time before video games and the internet, so we went outside and did stuff. It's caught up with me now.

Me too but I wasn’t a dumbass. Congrats?

I hope you don’t all providers anything that makes your appointment go long. God forbid you take 10 minutes more of your providers time then the patient after you fires him because you made an appointment for knee pain then decided to ask about your diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity.

Clearly we weren't doing the same things. No reason to be an idiot.
Let's just say that I was very rough on my body when I was younger and now I'm dealing with that.

I should do a week by week concerning my rotator surgery.

My left knee has reached a tipping point over the past year. I'm trying the Knees Over Toes program that was suggested by someone here. Hoping that produces positive results or I may have to pursue medical avenues. (In just two weeks, I've already experience minor improvement.)

It took a good 10-12 months before my father in law was close to 100%. He wasn’t the best about going to PT and working on his exercises though.
Good luck, hope you keep healing.

My mother had 1 knee done and then the other done 4 months later. She was 84. She lived alone and was able to stay in the hospital a week because of living alone. That made both knee replacements easier on her because they could feed her, bathe her, and PT came to her room 2 times a day. Made it easier on me too because I didn’t have to do all that and stay overnight with her at home. She had no problems with recovering from each one. She has always walked all her life so I think that helped the recovery. She’s 93 now and going strong and very active socially and mentally. I have to constantly tell her not to do things for fear of her falling. I am facing surgery now. Trying to set up an appointment with doctor. If you want to know the best doctor to use talk to a physical therapist because they treat patients that use different orthopedic doctors. I have a niece that is a PT and she suggested the best to use in different towns and ones to stay away from because of infections in patients and lack of taking issues seriously. I’m in central Louisiana so I got suggestions for Alexandria, Monroe, and Shreveport.

Just know, confidence is a large part. There's not much you can hurt at this point. Its just a pain tolerance thing.
Everyone thinks they can do to much, thinking they'll hurt the repair. You wont. Oush hard and often, and the soreness will leave sooner..

Great and hope all goes well.

The quick discharge after joint replacement is common for a couple of reasons. 1 - studies show that it results in better outcome if the patient is fit like you. 2- Is all about costs and insurance, the hospital and arrangements between your docs and the hospital. In/out quickly assures it's coded as outpatient surgery.

Yep. I said earlier in the thread, if you are considering this surgery, get yourself in decent shape and walk a lot and strengthen that leg and the muscles.

Yep, my PT helped me pick my doctor along with a friend whom he also operated on and I was very confident in his ability. They called him a "knee nerd".
