I still do not have all the feeling back in the nerves. Sensitive to touch. Guess that’s as good as it gets. Knee works great. I only need to have one knee done and I’m glad.

I had total knee replacement of the left knee 6 weeks ago. While it has not exactly been a picnic, it has gone better than I had feared. Most of the pain I experience is during (and following) my physical therapy sessions. How are you doing now? Did you have both knees done? I want to have my right knee done in May, which would be about 5 months after the first operation.

@Kevin: thanks for sharing. Yes it is TOUGH. I just participated in a feedback session for a new website for DePuy joint replacement. My biggest feedback was to make the recovery/rehab more realistic. It ain’t no walk in the park.

I am 48yo and just had my done ten days ago. I am a retired firefighter and a triathlete. Kind of a tough dude but……..SONOFABITCH! I have been humbled. This will make me a better person for sure so I dont regret it but………SONOFABITCH! I am also putting my faith in the words of those who say “You wont regret it” but………SONOFABITCH!

Here’s to ALL of you who have had this done……….NOW I GET IT

And to those who are contemplating it – Just Do It. Rely on family or friends and allow yourself the opportunity to strengthen your faith in God. Best of luck! You can handle more than you think.
