RE: Anyone Still Ride After Knee Replacement?
Great minds think alike Houtman!
Peterbaron, sounds like a heck of a rough ordeal you went through...geez
My situation is that I’m on the younger end of the spectrum (55) for a replacement but it’s time. I injured the knee about 20 yrs ago, had surgery, been bone on bone for about 12 years and like Mrs. Ferret, now in pain 24/7/365...

RE: Anyone Still Ride After Knee Replacement?
That incessant pain is intolerable making it hard to sleep or anything. All you can think about is that pain. Hope you get some relief. She was 56 when she had it done. They used to say the artificial joints were good for 10 years, but now they are saying 15-20 years.

RE: Anyone Still Ride After Knee Replacement?
Blockhead, I had knee replacement surgery January 2010 when I was 59. The surgery went very well. With a good physical therapy program, my quality of life was greatly improved. I live life not even thinking about the knee.
I have no regrets. Just get suggestions for the best Orthopedic Surgeon in your area. I talked to a Physical Therapist, nurses and people who had the surgery. Good luck!

RE: Anyone Still Ride After Knee Replacement?
I'm arriving late to this party, and not meaning to gloat in the least, but at age 80 I still have all the original knee and hip joints which are not the least bit impaired or showing any signs of wear and tear.
I jump out of bed every day ready to go with not the least bit of stiffness or aches and pains. I'm truly blessed and very thankful.

RE: Anyone Still Ride After Knee Replacement?
I had right knee replacement surgery three and one-half years ago. Found the doc considered "best" in Seattle. My pre-surgery issues were a torn/ repaired ACL in 1989 with an accompanying meniscus tear, compounded by staph infection after "minor" procedure to clean up that tear in 2011 that almost cost me the whole leg!
Replacement surgery on a Tuesday morning, one night in the hospital, and I walked the dogs two miles on Friday. The doc said that, unlike ACL repairs, which use another body part like a patellar tendon, everything in a knee replacement is a manufactured artificial piece, so "when the super-glue cures", you are ready to begin PT with no risk of further injury. I went dual-sport riding on forest service roads three weeks after surgery, and resumed racquetball five weeks post-op. No issues whatsoever. My PT, which I began two days post-op, was entirely focused on extension and flexibilty. They will explain that is the key to a successful outcome.

RE: Anyone Still Ride After Knee Replacement?
Had a hip replacement March 2014, bought my CB April 2014, went to the first Rally May/June 2014!
Pain was gone, but it took 3 years before that titanium hip is 99% back to normal and now is my GOOD hip.
I got so brave I went snow skiing yesterday for the first time in 15 years....now my back hurts ....My how youth it's wasted on the young ;-)
Rehab before the surgery was hard as I was already in pain, exercising just made more pain.
My only fear of doing the other one is coming off my blood thinner for a few days and throwing a clot during recovery.
Oh and now I'm afraid with this opioid crisis the Dr would rather let me be in pain than risk his career.
