So, did you get the 3 months of exercise prior from Mayo? We live 3 mi from Mayo Florida and every one of our providers are there. I am trying to determine which surgeon I want presently and I'm hoping to get this done no later than October since we have a cruise the first week of December and another getaway during Christmas. I mean by getting "it done," my hips, first.
I'm hoping to get my knees done in January if possible. So did you approach them for the exercises 3 months before? Because I am like you. 69 this month, overweight and not active. I currently try to do 14 different exercises Monday through Friday. Lately , the pain has been too much to in my knees to do so, to better prepare. I do wear the OneCompress bamboo sleeves bilaterally. And I ice usually once a day now prior because my knees are so swollen. But like I said I heard that I need to do my hips first.
