    Sorry for the late reply and hope you are doing well! I was still active up until surgery having ridden a bike about 1300 miles the 8 months before surgery. After surgery, I just followed what my therapist advised which was not pushing it to hard but I was anxious to get back in the swing of...

    I have no warm spots and kneeling for more that a few minutes is somewhat uncomfortable. Maybe a very small numb patch.

    1 year post surgery update- I just completed another half marathon in 1:55. I have ran 500 miles on my pka and play 1 hour of full court basketball every week. 1 year follow up appointment went well. Doc says come back in 5 years. Enjoying my knee knee!

    I finished my mini marathon yesterday just under 2 hours. My knee has zero discomfort but my thighs are sore to be expected. Things are great! If I had any knee discomfort during my training it was minimal and i would take a few days off if I felt is was needed and/ or reduce mileage.

    PKR PKR or TKR? Conflicting opinions

    Good luck pbfeet! I wish you all the best! I don't want to jinx it for us, but I jogged 10 miles yesterday and have been playing basketball full court about 2 times a week for an hour at a time. My knee feels great today.

    PKR PKR or TKR? Conflicting opinions

    I am 53 and just had a robotic assisted medial PKR in September and was back to work after two weeks. I started playing some full court basketball this week taking it easy. So far so good! I am very happy with the results so far but I am VERY early into having a PKR. I may or may not wear...
