This video was super helpful! Thank you. I had my 6 mo follow up with my surgeon today and he spent the whole visit showing me videos of himself skiing and driving his Porsche! LOL
Thanks for the information, i am due to have surgery scheduled next month on my R knee .my biggest problem is that both knees are bad, and I am a little nervous, but the thought of less pain or pain-free keeps me looking towards it. Will have something to compare it with for the left knee. Wish me good luck! Again, thank you.
I had a full knee replacement when I was 63 and now at 68 I’m on a waiting list for a partial on the other one. I have bone on bone with no cartilage. I’ve been pushing 92 Ks as part of slow resistance training for 5 years but it’s not staved off the need for surgery. My recovery wasn’t too long from my total knee replacement. The worst part is the exercises which must be done. 💪
I am 68 and had both of my knees done in 2023. It was the best decision I ever made. I may not be in the 1% group, but I was close, and I think I know why. I am a mover and not a couch potato. When others are sitting, I am standing and doing stuff. Even after my surgeries, I was back to work in a week and a half. I didn't "slave" out my family either, if I could do it myself, I did it. PT was difficult for the first knee but the second was super easy. As of right now, I have zero pain in either knee and have almost complete range of motion. The only limitation I have is going up and down stairs. Going up is not 100%. It takes effort but it is not painful. I would describe it as "deliberate" effort. Going down though is much more "deliberate". It takes concentration not to take a misstep. I do think it's getting easier and over time, hopefully, going up and down stairs will become more natural. The last issue that I am struggling with is getting down on my knees. It doesn't hurt but it feels unnatural. My brain is telling me not to get down, so I must force myself. My surgeon tells me it will not improve but I will not hurt myself if I get down on my knees. One last thought, I have met and talked to a lot of people about having the surgery and those with private insurance seem to be a massive roadblock, but I had mine done with Medicare (A & B) with a Plan G supplement. Paying about $ 450 a month. My out of pocket for both surgeries was less than $500 each (if that).
I’m 12 days past my total knee replacement. (60 year old UPS guy) It’s no party. I’d like your opinion on prednisone. I’ve still got significant swelling and my surgeon is considering putting me on that.

Did this help any misconceptions that you had about knee replacement?
Total knee 1 year plus ago. Wish I had this channel to look to before. I am 100% satisfied with my replacement.
Dr. Rosen, this video is one of the very best that you have presented. I am most appreciative, sir!

My right knee was replaced in October 1999 at age 46. It's still is excellent shape.
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
You don’t say anything about jogging or running after TKR
