    Doctors

    8 months post TKR and I am now convinced that 99% of all doctors are idiots. Thinking that they are all knowing Gods, they rarely take the time to read research in their own fields. After six months of running on my artificial knee with no problems whatsoever my lazy doctor still advises me not...

    7 months Post op

    I can't believe seven months have passed since my TKR. I can tell you that my knee feels fantastic. My surgery was June 22 and on Sept 14 I went for my first jog. It wasn't easy at first, the knee hurt and was very stiff after a run. But I kept at it and now I am running 4 days a week with...

    Running after knee replacement, Part 4

    I am now five months post TKR and have been jogging for a month. At first there was some slight pain and discomfort, but now I am running up to three miles with absolutely no problems.

    Running After knee Replacement

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to convince anyone to take up running, or even to resume running after replacement surgery. What I was trying to say is that if running is important to you, if it is a part of your very being as it has been of mine, then don't let anyone, even doctors...

    Running After knee Replacement

    I live in a small town in north Florida. I work for an engineering firm and am a former high school teacher. I ran in high school and continued for 30 plus years. My left knee starting hurting 5 or 6 years ago. I continued running in pain until about 3 years ago when the pain became too much to...

    Running After knee Replacement

    I cannot believe some of the posts I have read on this forum regarding running after knee replacement. Why not run? If you enjoy running, if it is important to you, then screw the doctors and run. Google Dick Bearsdley's blog and see what a former world class marathoner says about running on an...
