I am new to the forum, I am scheduled for a TKR on my right knee on Dec 18th. I am 52 and have needed the replacement for many years the pain has just gotten to the point where I can't deal with it any longer.
I am so glad that I got online and found this forum it has helped me to understand what to expect. I am very concerned about the amount of work that I will miss, I am hoping to be back to work in 6 weeks (desk work). I also have a trip planned to the middle east (Jordan) in late March.
I have had several knee surgeries over the last 30 years my last was an ACL about 15 years ago I remember it being very painful and recovery was long, it sounds like the ACL was a cakewalk compared to what I'm about to go through.
