Re: Knee Replacement Surgery

Thank you to everyone who has responded and Wow am I impressed at the percentage of successful surgeries reported here. DH is gun-ho for getting it done as he's suffered with knee problems since his college football days. The doctor said that it is so bad that it will even get worse until he won't even be able to shuffle around upright anytmore. Really not an option. You're right, there really isn't an option, the pain and lack of credible movement is debilitating. I'm grateful that DH will do what it takes for the best outcome he can achieve.... thanks again to everyone for your responses, and to @Goodie2shoes my very best for the best outcome on your next surgery!! Everyone take great care!

@Q4u .. the most important thing is to get a really good surgeon. One that specializes in knees is probably your bet best. After that go to a really good rehab for physical therapy. Best wishes!
