I'm ver sorry Mia. My comment was too strongly stated and I should have noted that there are cases like yours, where a person does extensive pre and post-op work for a joint replacement and still encounters an awful result. Please accept my apology.

I am amazed and inspired by your dedication. You continue to work after 21 months of what has probably been hell. Good for you. Others will benefit from your story.

I do hope you find some relief soon Mia. And again, I am very sorry for coming across as unsympathetic to cases like yours. I did not intend that.

All the best to you.

Joe

@heyjoe415 I had a pain free recovery. But I have attributed the credit as follows:

5% for my research into surgeons and techniques;
90% for the incredible skill and experience of my surgeon; and
5% for luck -- good in my case.

It is that last 5% that can cause so much trouble. No matter how well prepared the patient is, and no matter how good the surgeon is, there is still an element of uncertainty that can intervene.

But I do believe that by doing whatever prehab one can do, by careful selection of one's surgeon, and by using an ice machine for the first few weeks one can maximize one's chance at a good outcome.
