@wildebjef Hi, Will. I see you have been on Connect since May but I don't believe I have welcomed you before, so please let me do so now.
I have had two TKRs, is this your first? Mine were both good, no problems thankfully. I think the most important thing is to make sure you have the best possible surgeon that you can find. Do you know what kind of knee you are getting? I have no idea what my first knee is, I didn't really know there was a difference back then, but as I learned more after that I chose a doctor specifically based on what knee I wanted. That knee is a Conformis, and the doctor I had was the developer of it so I felt in good hands.
I hope your surgery will go as well as mine did, and make sure you do the PT advised. I don't think I did quite enough and as a result, I don't have quite the flex I would have liked. I have around 120 but 125 would work better I think.
