Having a knee replaced is sort of like taking your tonsils out nowadays. Ive had both knee and both shoulders replaced. The last knee only kept me down for 10 days and away I went. Be sure and get a prescription for rehab especially if you are on medicare. My doctor used a new method of cutting that does not cut the muscles so faster healing. Don't take local anethesia. Go to sleep and have a good snooze. Henry

Wish it was that simple but when you deal with the V.A. they will not do more then they have too and even then your lucky. I have 2 bad knees and one shoulder and all they want to do is throw drugs at me and even they are worthless

Had left knee done 9/11/06 , off the walker in 7 days , re-hab till middle of Dec. Use a spinal if possible , not good to have your brain and lungs etc out for that long. Mine couldn't have went better. Blue Cross paid EVERYTHING which proves even their medical billing dept knew what they were doing. Back to bowling and horseshoes and that is my step leg. No pain at all. You can gross people out in a quiet room when you "clank' the knee though. Can't even see the scar if'n ya don't know where to look close. The older you get , though, the slower ya heal. I'm 57 which I guess is pretty young for a knee , but I'm glad I didn't try to milk it out til 65 or 70. They will push you to your limit and beyond in re-hab and I saw some older people really struggling. Don't know how their results were.
