Find an excellent one on one dr of physical therapy that will get u in shape for knee replacement! They strengthen quads etc so recovery will be easier.
I did that prior to replacement, recovery went extremely well compared to my RTS which I did not do prior and wish I’d listened to my surgeon but took me a while to fine a one on one dr of physical therapy

Oh, wow, thanks for that advice!! I seem to remember hearing that they no longer required you to lose weight before knee surgery (but I'm working on it!), but did not know about pre-surgery PT. Thank you so much--I will ask about finding such a PT.
I'm a little uncertain how it will go, as my strength and stamina have declined due I'm sure to both age and (undiagnosed but I'm certain) MS...my legs have gotten wimpier even though I climb stairs all the time.
Thank you, that is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for!
