Hi I had my first tkr when I was 59 I had bad experience…. Ended up having second opinion and revision year later…
I hear good reviews of the Mayo Clinic…..everyone is right exercise before very important…my second surgeon used mako robotics what a difference with recovery was amazing …..My flexion is 100 extension is just about full….I did everything by the book exercise everyday few times a day , did pt for months , myofascial release , water therapy, chiropractic …. Two years out I have modified things I exercise and stretch twice a day , still go to the chiropractor once a week she helps with tightness in thigh and hip…. I am still work in progress lol …. But good luck to you I did not want to discourage you but just let you know things happen ….best advice keep moving
