- One of our very own patients created this video of her recovery from a total knee replacement surgery with Dr. Foran at OrthoColorado. Jane and "Knee-na" journeyed together from the hospital to physical therapy to a dream vacation hiking 113 miles in Canada.
Thanks Jane for sharing your inspiring recovery!
You changed my view, i am more confident into getting into the surgery now
Just got a total knee replacement on my left knee Feb 28,2023.4 days ago. I just hope my end results are at least half as good as yours. Congratulations
Im a little embarrassed im a 42 year old blue collar worker and im sitting here with watery eyes watching this video and i dont know why. Ive needed bi lateral tkr since i was 27 but have been putting it off. I believe this will be the year as my knees have gotten really bad the last 12 mos. I think i might be feeling a mixture of joy and hope after seeing this but i definitely has ne in tears for some reason 🤷. She should be proud this is absolutely amazing!!!!
Hey, saw your comment here. I felt the same way. I’m in a very similar situation to you. Just wondering if you pulled the trigger on surgery and if so how did you make out? I
I just turned 41 and got all I’m gonna get outta these knees. I need knee replacements I’m just curious how hard I should push for it. If you could share your story I would appreciate it.
OMGoodness! I need to see this 47 --- total left on July 1...total right scheduled October 23rd. I so needed to see this! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Wow! This is encouraging! I am a long distance hiker, displaced chondral fracture left me no options but tkr . 2 month p.o.working hard and doing well; but your video told me" work harder!" I'm missing trail life. Thanks!
I recently had my total knee replacement surgery. I have needed it for quite some time. It has been 4 days now. I came across your video and it truly opened up my eyes. I really do have great things to look forward to. You have been so incredibly inspiring to look at you actually getting your life back. I will work as hard as I saw you working. I am so ready to do this now. Because of your video, I know I too can do it! Thank you.
She makes it look too easy! I watched her before my surgery and watching it again, it brought me down. I’m day 2 and I’m in so much pain and the nerve block isn’t even worn off yet. 😢
How are you doing now?
Thank you so much for posting this. While I wasn’t afraid of the surgery, I was afraid of the recovery. I expect pain, honestly I’m hurting anyway, but I wasn’t sure as to what the level of recovery could be. You’re proof that I can get back to a normal lifestyle. I go under the knife in 5 days and I am so hopeful now.
We're so glad! Recovery to a normal lifestyle is definitely possible. Wishing you a smooth procedure and recovery.
I'm going in exactly 1 week...how are you doing 3 months post-op??
Hey how was the surgery?
@@iloveTRUMP I didn’t see your reply until now. I’m back to work these days and my knee is good. I have some discomfort but it’s well worth it.
@@goldshadow534 it went very well. At 6 weeks I was good enough to work again. I have a high pain tolerance but I believe anyone who knows constant knee pain would understand that it’s worth the initial pain. Today I climb ladders regularly and I have my second knee replacement come November. I am 6’3” and 280 lbs so I wanted to be strong enough to lift myself easily after my second knee replacement. Otherwise I’d have had it done sooner. I admit that it hurts and pain pills are a necessity but it’s worth it.
Blessing watching your video motivates me and inspires me to keep pushing . Just had a TKR 08/28/2023
Creo que te hicieron una cirugia avanzada que hace que te recuperes mas rapido. A mí me gustaría tener ese tipo de cirugias para recuperarme rapido.
Desafortunadamente,yo no cuento con el dinero para ese tipo de cirugia. Soy una mujer de 49 años y todavia tengo vida por delante. Lamentablemente solo me queda el servicio publico con protesis basicas lo que me aterra. Aun así tu video me dio alegria y me quito la tristeza y depresion que tengo. 🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏Gracias por ser optimista. Y ojala y Dios me ayude a tener unas buenas cirugias 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am 15 months post right knee TKR. I was 60 when I had it done. The recovery was brutal, no lie. I will be having my left knee replaced 9/12/23 and am trying really hard to get in shape, etc. This video was so inspiring! I really need to get my mind in a positive place before surgery. I will be back to watch this video again.
How is it
This is brilliant to see - I'm due to get a TKR in around a month and all the stories on the internet are negative....I ski tour, play golf and was really worried none of those things would be possible post - so seeing this has lifted my spirits massively, thanks!
Wishing you a smooth recovery!
How is it now? Is it worth it
@irshviralvideo it's fantastic. Massive improvement, first month is a pain, thereafter no issues at all.
Congratulations 🎉 That's amazing
I hope mine has the same results!!!
We hope so too, good luck!!
@@panoramaorthopedics I have my replacement in 8 days
that was very inspiring...I am sure the work was a LOT harder than it looked but the results are fantastic!!!!
They really are!
It was an emotional and physical roller coaster, but with a lot of hard work both pre-op and post op, the results were amazing!
@@jrweinfeld8271 hi! Thank you for posting this. Can you let me know what brand was your replacement? was it robotic? I have never seen anyone with a TKA be able to sit back on their heels… or be able to do pigeon pose, Well done!
@@jmonheim Zimmer Biomet Next Gen. It's a high flexibility implant. Minimally invasive non-robotic method. I haven't sat on my heels since as it was not comfortable! I can still do pigeon though, but my knee doesn't need to be nearly as flexed for that.
I needed to see this
Due for TKR in 2 weeks and having an anxiety meltdown but this is what I got to look forward too then am ready
With this video you gave me encouragement that I needed, since felt stuck on my progress. Some exercises in this video are excellent for knee motion. Immediately, I started doing them. My surgery was February 8th, 2023, afraid time is going by and won’t bend so much my knee. You gave me hope. I am still in walker, and started on my own in a cane. In cold weather does do you fell discomfort? Great video and excellent progress! Pleaase keep making videos like this and best exercises that worked for you. Good job!
Cold weather doesn’t seem to bother me. If I sit for too long it gets stiff, but once I start moving it loosens up. Movement is the key. Best of luck with your recovery!
Thanks you video takes away the butterflies I got in my stomach when I committed to getting the surgery . What to do with the collection of knee braces I now have.
great video! I can't wait to get back to hiking etc... TKR will be in September
Amazing ! I'm ready for surgery now!
Wishing you a smooth recovery!
well this gives me better feeling then I have been thinking!!! I am having total knee replacement in PA on the 1st of March. I am freaking out and so nervous about recovery.
It's a big decision! We wish you a smooth surgery and recovery.
Im having total knee replacement on the 7th March and I'm exactly the same as you....freaking out. I also can't have opiates so no pain relief except paracetamol and ibuprofen. Good luck with yours
@@deborahcrookes5259 Seems like time is flying and my surgery is now a week away.. Good luck with yours as well!!!
Wow to the max. How did she achieve this recovery like so well? I'm struggling at 5 weeks Post op and can only bend at 90 degrees flex.
🎉 Thank you for your videos. They encouraged me to change the knee joint after a whole year of hesitation and fear
Wow, this is so awesome! I am going to have a total knee replacement on the 26th and I am so afraid I won't be able to continue my daily 5-mile walks. Watching this video, I am now encouraged, thank you.
I'm scheduled the 23rd! I have this 'should I/ should I not' thing going on after wanting this for at least 10 years...
Wishing you a smooth recovery!
@@panoramaorthopedics thank you so much.
Very inspiring! I need to have both knees replaced & am very scared. Shoulder replacement was a breeze compared to what I hear that knee surgery & recovery are. I am 65 & not in great shape. My father died from poor hospital care after knee replacement surgery in '99--at a VA hospital.
Thank you for sharing. I know every one is different but you showed me what is possible .
Perfect soundtrack for your video. I'm 6 weeks out from surgery. My last PT visit I was at 120 on flexion. I'm pushing as hard as I can without going too far too fast.
This is great to see. I’m starting to think that my knee is stopping my health journey that I was on. It just hurts so much to work out! I’m almost 41 and my mind keeps telling me I’m too young. They told me 4 years ago I needed a partial, I let them inject it and have been ignoring until a re-injury in October. It’s just not what it once was.
Thank you for this video I have this surgery coming very soon in my future.
I was under the impression that full range of motion is not possible
Me too. It's really good to see full range in the pics. I'm looking for anything more that I can find regarding kneeling and full flection. A physiotherapist had told me that full reflection would not be possable nor kneeling, but this lady is doing both.
She is the exception
@@angeladibble. Notice her scar, it is not directly over the kneecap. That is usually the thing that prevents a patient from kneeling comfortably. Not many surgeons do that.
@@Jimmy-LegsExactly! I'm 4 1/2 months post op from total knee replacement. My scar is down the middle. Not able to kneel on it yet. I can do steps up and down and have a good range of motion.
Very encouraging!
Thank you for making this video, God Bless U.
this gives me hope. thank you
Big congratulations to you Jane 🎉
Was this a total knee replacement? What kind of device was implanted? I got an Evolution (not sure which model). I do not have nearly that flexibility. Can not do a deep squat. I was told the device could not bend to that degree. Thanks.
Yes, a total. It’s a high flexibility Biomet-Zimmer. I can’t remember the exact model.
Thank you for your video this is such a inspiring video now I can watch this and do your video on a daily basis 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
WOW, This is a dream :))) Congraduation!!
Jane is sure inspiring!
I was told entire rom (full range of motion) isn't impossible after knee replacement. But I live in Italy, and I fear surgery isn't as advanced as in the USA?
How much does it cost a knee replacement in the USA, please?
I am thinking about going there to have surgery...
If you are a lifelong going to the gym girl then recovery and therapy will be something to look forward to, knowing you can do it and the end result will be amazing .
Inspiring! My knee replacement happens in two months.
Who was the manufacturer of your total knee?
Do you have to go to the hospital to have this done or can they do it at your house
0:54 any chance that I can ask you about the pain before your surgery? With my knees hurt a lot but how do I know that that pain will go away? They say one knee needs a replacement, but both of my knees feel horrible.
Hi Christine. My pain prior to surgery was primarily caused by the very things that used to give me pleasure - hiking and skiing. It got to the point where I would practically cry from the pain. My passions were no longer enjoyable, and my quality of life was considerably diminished. I’m happy to say that now 16 months post-op, I am back to hiking and skiing the way I did before surgery. Doing physical therapy prior to surgery in order to get as strong as possible was imperative in my recovery. I wish you the best of luck. It’s a big decision, but I can honestly say I have no regrets.
Do you have limitations now after surgery? I do CrossFit and would like to do box step ups at least and maybe squats or deadlifts. If not, I’m happy with lunges 🙂
@@charitypeterson9729 I stay away from high impact activities like jumping and running, but I didn't do those things before surgery. :)
Estoy mal de mis dos rodillas,y necesitaría cirugias 😔 Pero este video de JANE me dá optimismo 😊 Quisiera tener en mis rodillas este tipo de cirugias y recuperar mi vida al 100%. Pero la realidad es que es muy caro esta cirugía.😔 Aun así este video me dá esperanza y alegría. 😊Siempre pongo este video cuando me pongo nerviosa o estoy triste a causa de mis rodillas. Tengo 49 años.
Amazing!
Hello. May I ask if this was a knee replacement with an acl intact or removed?
ACL removed.
Hi - very inspiring video!!! I am a hiker and also very active with calistenics training. I have a TKR looming, and have been told by my surgeon that, even after recovery, it will feel Klunky and I will loose some of my range. Does it absolutely have to be this way? Have you experienced this at all? Thank you for your reply.
It clicks, but I don’t even notice it anymore. Most people do lose some ROM, but I ended up gaining. It’s all about doing those blasted heel slides and other ROM exercises.
Hi there, your video really inspired me as well as hitting me emotionally too. I am having a TKR in April and was wondering how you are doing now?
Thanks for sharing your journey.
Still doing great. I’ve lost some flexion because I didn’t continue the PT exercises after a year. And as others have said, not everyone will have the same outcome. No two knees are the same. There are many factors that play a role in the outcome. But I truly believe that Dr. Foran’s method played a large role. That and my diligence with my physical therapy. I wish everyone the best of luck with their recovery.
I am 2 months post right and 1 day post left as of today. Your ability to sit on back on your heels is what I’m most jealous of. I wasn’t able to do that prior to surgery for several years. I am hoping to get back to that. Were you able to sit on your heels prior to surgery? And yes those dang heel slides. lol.
I’ve lost some flexion since I stopped doing the PT exercises after a year. Sitting on my heels was “possible” but not pleasant. I have no need to do that again. Deep squats are fine though. I just don’t like to put too much pressure on the replaced knee alone. It’s always done at the same time as my non-surgical knee.
Thank you for sharing.. help much
thankx.
I had a TKR in 2020. It was swollen before surgery and still is. I put in the work, but I do not have the same range of motion as Jane. I was told I would not get full range because TKR are not designed that way. I have to have my other knee done. Is this a special type of replacement?
swollen?...have you checked on blood work for infections?...i had that done before my TKR but usually infections get worse if not taken care of...and i wouldn't worry about getting full range of motion like in your youth...and if your other knee needs it, by all means...just make sure it is the same size; because for instance if your teeth filling is off just by a tiny hair, it is very uncomfortable when you bite down...so same size will prevent waddling...and modern TKR have innovated technology and digital precision and should last 15 years...and true, TKR are not designed to give you a new knee like in our youth but it fixes the problem of arthritis, loss cartilage, bone mass, pain etc from the years of constant banging on our knees like long distant running, biking etc...and everyone is different in regards to recovery time such as your physical fitness before, age etc ...don't compare yourself with others...just keep at it and one day, you will say "dang i did it and i have close to full range"...blessings...
I'm 5 years out from TKR and i didn't get to out patient PT because of bad weather so it got pushed back so it messed things up i'm ok but my knee don't bend like it should for 5 years out :(
You have unbelievable flexion.
I noticed that your scar is to the side of the knee and not as bad as the cut from above the knee to below the knee. Is this something new?
This is a "trademark" scar that I've seen Dr Foran at Panorama Ortho do. Most Dr's do the straight incision. I had a partial knee replacement with Dr Foran and it had that same half moon shape, much smaller than other incisions that I've seen. It healed fast and little to no pain (seriously) But I'm scheduled for a full knee replacement on my right knee next month and not looking forward to it. Unfortunately, Dr. Foran no longer takes my insurance so I'm going to a surgeon that he recommended. He's great and knows his stuff! Prayers and hard work ahead! This one will be more painful for sure. But you gotta do the work afterwards, which is uncomfortable and probably will be more painful this next time around.
Or the brand of Knee implant you got because I’m getting ready to get my knee replaced
Omg is it real ?
Yes! Jane put in the work and went on to her dream vacation. So inspiring!
It was an emotional and physical roller coaster, but with a lot of hard work both pre-op and post op, the results were amazing!
@@jrweinfeld8271 Congrats on your successful recovery!! Did you recover full range of motion? Any complications or infections?
Fantastic. But you seem very young. What was your age at time of surgery
58.
Hey, I’m curious to what knee implant you got
High flexibility Biomet-Zimmer.
Did end up doing both knees? How r u doing now? Im seeing a surgeon next Wed., I know he is probably going to suggest surgery? I cant stand straight anymore.
Still doing great. I only had my right knee done. I have no desire to ever do the other one unless absolutely necessary. I’ve lost some flexion because I didn’t continue the PT exercises after a year. And as others have said, not everyone will have the same outcome. No two knees are the same. There are many factors that play a role in the outcome. But I truly believe that Dr. Foran’s method played a large role. That and my diligence with my physical therapy. I wish everyone the best of luck with their recovery.
Jane how r u doing now? Did u only need 1 TNR?
Awesome
I just want to b able to walk w/endurance again?
you can just keep at it...
OMG sking at six months!
Wow... that was a fast recovery. And no pain ? And full range of motion [ rom ].
I took total knee replacement 1 year ago. And i have pain and bad rom. You must have done very much right or just lucky ?
😉
For Jane, she definitely put in the work when it came to physical therapy. We hope that you continue to feel better in your recovery!
Birger, there was definitely pain! But it was very manageable. Perhaps there was some luck involved, but I was vigilant with my physical therapy both pre and post-op. It was a lot of hard work. I also give Dr. Foran a lot of credit for his skill. I truly believe it play a huge role in my successful recovery. I do hope your pain gets better and that you continue to see improvement.
@@jrweinfeld8271 It's a very inspiring video you are amazing, may i ask did you take pain medication everyday for for first 3 months? if not how often each day and when did you stop, thanks in advance
this is not true i wasn't even close
I’m not sure why this is posted. This seems nothing more than a show off video. I don’t think you represent 98% of those if had any replaced include myself.
Sorry to be a balloon buster, but this video is bullshit. The vast majority of patients do not have this experience. It is incredibly painful, not to mention depressing. Not for all, but for most. I could not be happier for this woman… But it’s simply not representative of most patient experiences.
Don't make fool to people, O.K.
