re: Anybody have a total knee replacement? How bad was the recovery?

I've not had it done but have been to several rounds of PT over the years for other issues. I've not heard one person regret getting their knee replacement surgery done while in PT and listening to their tales.

They, almost to a man/woman, said they wished they wouldn't have waited so long to do it since their quality of life before surgery was so limited-----------and this was while still in PT and not fully healed and recovered.

I know I'd not hesitate to get it done if I felt it was necessary.

And like already mentioned, one at a time, not both at the same time.
