Oh Gabby - with your attitude, you will be very active again. Just remember your body has been assaulted. My sister-in-law had 2 partial knees almost 6 years ago now, and is going strong - she is a Master Naturalist, state park volunteer, grandma of 9...
I will give you one heads up - as you begin to heal, you may feel like you have burning or zapping sensations - anywhere from above the knee to the toes. This is your nerves, which were insulted by the surgery, waking up and healing. It can be quite unpleasant, but it is temporary - a few weeks or so. I found motion - walking, pedalling, or kicking in the pool to help when my hips were healing. She went with ice packs, heat packs & Icy Hot gel.
Please be kind to yourself and do your therapy so you will be your best new self...

I am seeing this reply 4 years after a revision on left knee and TKA on right. I am experiencing pain and extreme hypersensitivity to both knees. Has anyone expressed similar feelings. Above and below joints are painful and walking is difficult. Surgeon feels his role is done. Where to seek help? Thank you
