What was life like before joint replacement?

Before undergoing joint replacement surgery, my life was miserable. I walked with a limp and was constantly in pain. I could only do minimal activities.

What was the turning point for you?

The pain was so intense that I could not endure it any longer, and I wasn't able to walk long distances. I decided enough was enough.

What is life like now?

I was walking and driving within 2 weeks of my surgery. I could not have asked for a better surgical team.

What information do you have that would help others considering joint replacement?

Go see your doctor ASAP. Your life will be so much easier
