You mention:
"full knee was very difficult"
Can you share with me what was difficult? I am 65, mid-active, and gained 26lbs since the knee went south, it hurts just to walk. I have a brace now that allows me to walk and I'm out every day walking.
Perhaps I can learn from your difficulties. Is there anything you might do differently if you, hope not, had to do it again? thank you for posting!
