I am having right TKA on Jan 14th. Nerves aside, I normally don't have much pain unless I over extend (uneven ground) climb stairs, step off a curb wrong...that sort of thing. My main problem is range of motion (I can barely bend my leg backwards even 4-5") which has seriously affected my life-style. You see, my family has owned dual motorcycle franchises for over 30 years and riding with our customers is what we do. Hubby and I lead several trips each year, 2-3 weekend trips and 2 or more cross country, about 300 miles per day, spanning 5 days up to 2 weeks each and thousands of miles. I haven't been able to even get on the bike for two years now... so I follow in my car. My Ortho knows my situation and has said I should be fine but the closer Jan 14th gets the more fear I am having. Will I really have good range of motion when therapy is finished? Or, am I kidding myself and doing this operation for nothing?
