    Hey Tyler... this message is meant to update everyone too! So I'm four weeks post-op. Some cliff notes: - According to my surgeon (Michael Jenkins at MedStar Health) I was up and about same day of surgery. I didn't even need a cane or walker while still at the hospital. They discharged me...

    PKR Need Advice. Agonizing over decision to get surgery or not.

    Thank you, all, for sharing your thoughts and experiences. It was all helpful in deciding what to do, which is move forward with the surgery. I saw a well respected doctor that does Mako partial knees on Thursday, and I've decided to go that route. Everything I've read, watched and...

    PKR Need Advice. Agonizing over decision to get surgery or not.

    Hello all. 47y/o male here. 6'1", 225lbs, active and spend time in my gym weekly cycling and taking 'HIT' type classes, yoga, etc. I'm no stranger to orthopedic surgeries... I've had MANY done on my shoulders, knees and one achilles (all baseball injuries). I now have OA on the interior...

    UNI (partial) knee replacement advice

    Good to know. I guess I'll have to take my chances. I run the business and we're busy year-round. Fortunately, I have a big team so I can send others out in my place if I'm not up to it.

    UNI (partial) knee replacement advice

    This is fantastic news and makes me optimistic. I don't run much (because of my knee pain) but cycle a lot. Maybe I'll be able to run after getting the same surgery! 47 here in good shape... gym rat.

    Your story is inspiring... so glad your right knee is doing so well... I think this is helping me to take the plunge and get it done myself.

    UNI (partial) knee replacement advice

    Dang... 36?! You seem too young to have these kind of knee issues. Heck, I thought I was too young at 47... but, here I am. I do appreciate the time you took to respond and the detail you provided. The surgeon on my end will also realign my leg as well during surgery. He said we could...

    UNI (partial) knee replacement advice

    Thanks for taking the time to respond! I am in excellent shape... maybe a bit overweight, but I'm in the gym a lot and cycle quite a bit. I was a professional baseball player for a good part of my younger days and have focused on strengthening my legs and knees the last decade at the gym...
