TKR Back with a question

[jakeleg]

Well here I am in 2025 still singing the praises of Bonesmart which made a huge difference in my recovery. I have suggested looking at the content to a couple of TKRs. I am amazed at how cautious they are about trying something new. I would have let my PT person hurt me if I had not found Bonesmart! I know the surgery is much improved from when I had mine, but there are still things the doctors do not prepare people for. They just don't have time to answer all the questions so Bonesmart was a sanity saver for me, especially when the depression hit! Oh, my! I remember how scared I was that I was crying at the drop of a hat or a pin. Anyway, I am happy with my knee and especially my "barely there scar". I can walk much faster than most of the people I work with. One sad thing that I notice at my work is how many young women are 50 to 100 pounds overweight in their 20's and 30's. I want to tell them "Your knees and hips are your friends, don't ignore them". All best to anyone who sees this.

Hooray!!! @jakeleg You found your thread and gave such a wonderful update. I love how you’re out walking your coworkers. I agree with you that weight is a real issue with Americans these days. So sad. All the best to you and your knee for many more happy days.
