doc says I need double knee replacement

Arizona Slim · 10-06-2012, 03:18 PM

I had the surgery in 2005 and it was a decision that I will never regret, there were no problems what so ever. Very little discomfort at first and none after a very short time . It is very important that you do the recommended therapy to recover as much flexability as possible. My therapist said that whatever flexability you are able to achieve within the first six weeks will probably be about what you will end up with, the average person will be able to bend their knee around 90 degrees, more if you are diligent with your therapy, both at home and with your therapist. Good luck my friend
