I had a cortisone shot but it didn't help much. Now that dressing is getting more difficult, I'm cautiously looking forward to getting the replacement.

Beatrice - I've had both knees replaced at age 68. I did work with a trainer pre-surgery so my supporting muscles were as strong as possible. Surgery went very well and now I'm in the gym every day.

Like most people here, my knees were bone-on-bone and it was painful to walk. Osteoarthritis..... Thanks Mom!

My left shoulder is bone-on-bone but manageable for now. Even so, in a few years I'm sure I'll get a TSR.

Can anyone describe their recovery experience? Did you have to sleep in a recliner? How long? Did you regain a normal range of motion post surgery?

Thanks all and best wishes to you Beatrice!
