Sorry to hear that you will be of your bike for a while !
I hope that the healing is going well and that you will be back on "stage" very soon. ( my RS concert is being delayed )

Geezalou PB... Couldn't you have scheduled this in November?

Repacement knees are kinda tricky (my wife has 2 of them). PT is crucial, do all they will give you and ask for more. They never will feel like your old knees, but if you had bone on bone pain with your original knee, after 6 months with the new knee you will be pleased with the lack of pain.

Hey brother take care and heal well. Drop in on us when you can and we will try and cheer you up.

Alright PB - you came out!

I am sure you will be just fine if you follow the plan. I have seen some great success stories and luckily no bad ones.

4 to 6 weeks in really nothing considering what you get back.

PB, I had my left knee replacement surgery January 2010. My surgery and recovery went very well. I too recommend you work your Physical Therapy Program as recommenced to get your range of motion back.
I have no regrets! With my stainless steel knee, I avoid strong magnetic fields so I don’t get swept off my feet! Wink
Best wishes for a good recovery and keep us posted of your progress.

I worked at an orthopedic company for a few years and I learned a bit about what goes into that. Be glad you were asleep for the surgery because, let me tell you, they are not nice to your bones. Banging, cutting and drilling to make the implants fit.
If you had a total joint replacement there should be 4 pieces in there....Femoral, Tibial, Patella and the articulation surface that everything rides on. It's pretty interesting stuff.
Do your PT and you should be good to go for 20 years. Losing weight always helps.

At first I thought ...”hey, this should be under General Discussion” but thinking about it this is a legit modification.
