Good Luck, go for it you won't be sorry

not everyone os so fortunate, frank7. my friend had her replacement 15 months ago - surgery cut the muscle. etc. - is on 3rd or 4th rehab session - knee still swells and stiffens after walking for only a brief time - - she can press 50lbs on front and back of her legs in the gym - just had mri and pix not clear because knee is metal appliance - must now go for cat san instead.
other friend had knee replacement surgery - muscle cut, etc - developed inordinate amount of scar tissue during rehab - had arthroscopic procedure to scrape out scar tissue and 8 wks after initial surgery began a whole new rehab process.
3 - 5 weeks doesn't make it for everyone
