Knee replacement
I had my knee done on Jan 14 from OptiMotion. They don’t use a robot but do the cut from the side. Healing time is much faster because they aren’t going through all the muscles and ligaments. They also invented their own parts. I was home the same day and physical therapy came the next day then 3 times a week for a month. The exercises they give you to do before the surgery and after are a must. The pain afterwards to be honest wasn’t that much different then the 3 yrs of pain before. They prescribe all the meds before hand and you take them with you the day of surgery so the can explain everything. I don’t like taking narcotics so only used the Percocet the first couple of days. I used a walker for 3 days and a cane for one. I was at the square after a week not dancing but pretty close. Rode my bike at 6 weeks. So glad I had it done and getting my other one done in December. They have an office in Brownwood and surgery is done in Orlando. I highly recommend them.
