I'm a carpenter 56 years old and both my knees hurt from arthritis. Other carpenters post surgery 5+ years I know said " The doctors don't want you working on your knees so you go on disability.
I've seen a few doctors and now they are saying this like " disability that's on you" or " you should be fully recovered by 8 weeks 12 at the max that's all the disability they will sign for. Any more your primary doctor will have to sign for.
I watched a complete surgery using a Smith and Nephew implant and I see the real probability of harming the implant crawling around all day on your knees.
So how many people are given the green light to continue to work on their knees at all much less 8-12 weeks post surgery?
