I had bilateral knee replacement 2015 yes both at the same time I recovery was rough, and it was painful and took longer to get back to my regular activities, but I'm very athletic cycling and in-line speed skating. But personally, I'm glad I did both at the same time but it's a very individual decision. But I was not prepared for was the new alignment of my hips, which were not used to an entirely new stance because my new knees are very straight and linear. stretching, and yoga helped me correct that. I've also had two revisions because of loosening surrounding tendons and ligaments had thicker spacers put in... not at the same time. However, my implants are solid. I'm doing OK but have a lot IT band issues and inflamation which I've been treating through an osteopath.

Well here I am . Bold statements like “ bilateral knee replacements are not a good idea ?” Don’t help anyone , that’s just and opinion .
I had double knee replacement 10 weeks ago and have no regrets at all . Yes two weeks were difficult but morphine and celebrix kept me comfortable and resting day and night . The drugs upset my stomach but that’s normal for me .
I was walking and doing 4 stairs within 3 days .

Handles on a raised toilet , walker with a seat , non slip socks , crackers and 7up for upset tummies , a comfy lazy boy type chair and ice machine is absolutely necessary!!

Take care ! Please ask if you have any questions
