I had the left knee don't June 12. I get around pretty good but not 100% yet.
Pain is just about all gone. More of a presence, now. Knee still pops. Very little swelling on outside of knee when I walk much. I am being cautious on amount, of walking along with other problems.
Therapy is a must. If they hadn't forced the exercises and walking though pain the first several days, I might not be walking now. The scar tissue forms if you don't move it.
What has to be has to be. I would have much rather been fishing.
Now they tell me my left hip has to be replaced and it was perhaps the cause of the deterioration of my left knee. The Dos knew it long ago but didn't tell me so I could have done something about it and perhaps saved knee replacement.
Just stoke her up with magazines, a tv and visit her often, play cards etc.
