I injured my knee at the age of 14! Waited until I was 55 to replace it. I should have done it 25 years ago. Had the surgery on 10-15-11. In hospital 3 days. Pain level was very tolerable with meds. Used meds about 5 weeks. Had 7 weeks of therapy and went on a cruise December 26th.
Was ballroom dancing in 8 weeks. I had mine done in Indiana by a highly recommended doctor who does many knee replacements every week. Be sure to get a doc with lots of experience with knees!
