You may or may not have seen my thread about my knee, and desire to ride a Bicycle again.

My left knee had it's 8th surgery (TKR with revision) on 11/09/09. By the end of March 2010 I was outside on my Bicycle (had been spinning on an exercise bike prior) and have gotten 630+ miles in to date (even with other issues in July).

I have spoken with many, many people with knee replacements, and it's my opinion (only), that the ones that love their new knee are the ones that hurt the worst. The few that hate their new knee and wish they had never had it replaced are the ones that just started having *some* knee pain and the Ortho said "Hey! You're old enough, let's replace that knee before it gets any worse!" So they did, and didn't *apply* themselves enough during PT because they had no real idea what was at stake...

This is your shot to make improvements in your life, and it starts right here and now~! I hope the best for you
