You'll find that going down stairs is very painful and I felt I had to practice that.

Had BOTH knees done (one year apart) several years ago by Dr. Duke...best surgeon by far. Am doing extremely well, and I can personally tell you that unless you take post-op therapy seriously...you will not improve as you should. I pushed myself with therapy and it paid off tremendously. Found that the best therapy for me was going to the gym after graduating outpatient therapy, and using the stationary bike (both forward and backward cycling) and the stairclimber...it hurts...there's no way out of it...just pace yourself. Good Luck.
