Have any of you had total knee replacement and was able to keep at it? I'm due for one maybe a deuce.
Any insight would be helpful.

Nice! That's kind of what I was hoping for. How long after surgery did it take to get back at it?Hi,i had total knee replacment done 6 years ago ,Best thing i ever did ,no more pain.I work in a shop all day, iam able to kneel on it.I wish i would have done it sooner.Good luck ,Bruce.
I was back out in the shop doing oil changes after a couple of weeks,but it took about a month and 1/2 before i went full time.I run my own shop so its hard to take a lot of time off.The one thing I did was get a stationary bike and ride that every day,the more you keep your knee moving the better off you will recover,Its a long road you have to keep exercising your knee well after therapy ends!Nice!

there are people that are getting a new gel injected in place instead of surgery.I'm 57. Bone on bone in both. My daughter is a PTA and sometimes a PITA. She'll keep me humping on the PT. My wife will be just as tough on me.
This I hear a lot and hear three months, so from what I hear, the key is to get the doc that has done the most.I was back out in the shop doing oil changes after a couple of weeks,but it took about a month and 1/2 before i went full time.I run my own shop so its hard to take a lot of time off.The one thing I did was get a stationary bike and ride that every day,the more you keep your knee moving the better off you will recover,Its a long road you have to keep exercising your knee well after therapy ends!
