[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 85667, member: 423"] Just had my second knee replacement done in November. Got the back leg done this time. ;-) Both surgeries went extremely well and I'm finally pain free for the first time in over 50 years. No more moaning and groaning every time the weather changed. I was pretty lucky that my recovery time for both surgeries was very short compared to some other people I talked with and my range of motion is well above average. I was walking the day after surgery and never used any crutches or walker. The doctor and the therapist told me horror stories of people who didn't do their therapy exercises and had their knees freeze up or couldn't bend them normally so of course I never did one exercise other than walk around the house and the yard taking care of my animals. I think all the walking was better than the exercises but I would still tell people to listen to the therapists. They know what they are talking about. I think the key is to keep moving-don't just sit in the recliner and veg out. I still have a couple of half full bottles of Hydocodone left that I never needed. The pain and swelling I got from the surgery was less annoying than the constipation those damn pills gave me. :mad: [/QUOTE]
