Matthew’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement? 
It was a great accomplishment just to go up the stairs. 

What was the turning point for you?
When my knee started to lock up for days at a time, I decided to go ahead and get it replaced.

What is life like now?
I can walk up and down stairs, and my knee doesn’t lock up anymore.

What advice do you have for others considering joint replacement?
Rehab is not easy, but it is well worth it. I was in rehab for a month, but that’s because I live by myself.
