Pain months after Total Knee Replacement

My knees went south playing on hard courts. Hard true came late for me. I played both singles and doubles but near the end of tennis days it was only doubles. Won state of Ohio 13 times as a captain of a team. Played 4.0 but as i aged i was plating 3.5 . I am 78 now but told i look 60. Shot my age in golf the other day. When i had first tkr i noticed i lost a lot of speed. I decided on stem cells as my TKR did not go well. Its been 5 years and still have swelling, pain, etc, I love my biking and i do 20 miles each day. Good luck to you.

Congratulations on your excellent track record in tennis (I, too, was a team captain for several years). Went to SC state championships several times, lost in finals mostly. Let me tell you, it is a LOT harder to herd a group of females (even though I am one myself), than to deal with guys. Just take my word for it. I wish I would like to bike..... I really hate the stationary one(s), and here in SC the actual outdoor riding is definitely not something you do in the summer. Clarification re. stem cell: must be the “other” knee, since once the artificial one is in, it would not help.
I plan to start tennis hitting practices come September, and go from there. I really miss smacking a ball to get rid of pent-up energy? frustration? anger? just sheer joy of it? All of those.
