Nanoknee, is it better or merely hype?

I am curious how your experience was- any tingling/numbness at 2-3 months post op? I have that and a tight 'band' across top of the knee that feels odd. I did come to the table, so to speak, no pun intended, with bone on bone arthritis. But the nano procedure , altho a better experience than my recent Mako knee replacement, is no miracle- return-to- full- activity ""immediately " as their TV commercial suggests. With an $8,500 out of pocket cost? I don't get it.

I don't get it either at $8500 out of pocket. The body has to heal, and that takes time. Also other factors come into the picture. I had surgeries on both knees in 1991 for patella femoral subluxation, which impacts the surgery and healing time. Also I had scar tissue for at least 4 months. Also I was over zealous in the rehab exercises which set back the healing and Dr. gave me RX anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxer. Now almost 5 months post, have 120-130 ROM finally. I also go to acupuncture weekly, for 12 weeks. When I see the AMAZING nano testimonials, I am in awe and wonder if I went the right way with MAKO athletic. I was referred to a surgeon who does about 12 hip and knee surgeries weekly, by the head of ER dept at a local hospital (his mother is my friend). This all takes ONE YEAR probably regardless of which one gets. It is all frustrating and I am glad I can walk with NO PAIN now!
