I had staged bilateral knee replacements( 2 weeks apart) 5 months ago. I was very afraid to have the surgery as I’d read about all the possible complications.
Unfortunately, my quality of life had deteriorated as I was an avid runner and hiker for 40 years and was now limited to walking for 10 minutes and needed to sit down due to the pain. My knee replacement surgery went very well. I now have my life back. I’m able to hike about 10 km and use a stationary bike daily.
I thought I would share my perspective as the surgery can be very successful.
