I had left knee partial in 2021 and breezed through the recovery.
But my right knee was a full and it has been brutal from moment I woke up in recovery room. I will hit my 1 year on 11/6.
By the end of the day, my knee is stiff and hurts trying to bend. This affects my lower back as my gait changes.
Pray 🙏 everyday day. God is always good.

@cyndi2013 I am only 5 months out from a double knee surgery.I have done well overall up to now. Surprising since I am 85. I was told by many people that I should not do it at my age. But I am totally glad I did it. My one concern now is my balance and gait. I am still doing the PT exercises at home. But I have noticed in the last month or so that my gait has changed and it causes imbalance and my back tires really easily. I didn't expect this. Some days are better than others. Has anyone else had a balance/gait problem? And what kind of exercises are you doing for it? Other than that, I am doing great.
