Hi there, don’t want to argue with your doctor but I had one replaced ; triathlon knee ( hammered in instead of glue) and I get on my knee all the time to do yoga n workout. I’m almost 66, had it replaced at 60.. my doc said I could run but I only run 2 miles once or twice a week. I do many other activities now . I do at times put a folded mat under the knee if I’m going to be on it longer than a minute or so.. you must make that decision yourself & see how it feels. If it hurts.. do not do it! 😉

At my age, and weight, I am afraid to even try, but I'll give it more thought...and thank you for your suggestion...

This tool has been a life-saver for me since I love gardening but can’t kneel well or get up by myself. It can be flipped over to kneel and the handles allow me to push down to stand up. It can also be used to sit on. The legs fold in for storage.

Wow! Your doc actually said you can run?! i thought this was something you were never supposed to do with a TKR. I was told jut the opposite. i miss running. 🙁
