Thanks, Chris! I am 65 years old. When I retired at the end of 2021, I didn't even know I had a problem with my knee, it was just stiff and a little sore. I went to see an orthopedics doctor in February and he took an xray that showed bone-on-bone arthritis in my right knee. The joint was so damaged it had turned my right leg inward and I was walking knock-kneed.
It took me a couple of months to decide to have the TKR. I just couldn't believe it was true. My surgeon not only replaced the joint but also straightened my leg. This added a risk of nerve damage and paralysis. Thank God, no damage occurred. I appreciate your encouragement. Knee surgery recovery is one of the hardest physical things I've ever endured.
